Word Origins Dictionary
- jibe (v.)[jibe 词源字典]
- "agree, fit," 1813, of unknown origin, perhaps a figurative extension of earlier jib, gybe (v.) "shift a sail or boom" (see jib). OED, however, suggests a phonetic variant of chime, as if meaning "to chime in with, to be in harmony." Related: Jibed; jibes; jibing.[jibe etymology, jibe origin, 英语词源]
