JOB, n. of unknown origin, but perhaps allied to chop, primarily to strike or drive.

1. A piece of work any thing to be done, whether of more or less importance. The carpenter or mason undertakes to build a house by the job. The erection of Westminster bridge was a heavy job and it was a great job to erect Central wharf, in Boston. The mechanic has many small jobs on hand.

2. A lucrative business an undertaking with a view to profit.

No cheek is known to blush nor heart to throb,

Save when they lose a question or a job.

3. A sudden stab with a pointed instrument. This seems to be nearly the original sense.

To do the job for one, to kill him.

JOB, To strike or stab with a sharp instrument.

1. To drive in a sharp pointed instrument.

JOB, To deal in the public stocks to buy and sell as a broker.

The judge shall job, the bishop bite the town,

and mighty dukes pack cards for half a crown.
