What does 'Jill-of-all-trades' mean?

Years ago, only men were in the vocations (plumber, painter, carpenter, etc). So the expression "Jack of all trades" referred to a man who was good at all kinds of things-- a little of this, and a little of that. But in addition to a positive meaning (a man who is versatile), it was also used sarcastically-- "Jack of all trades, master of none"-- in other words, the man knows a little of this and a little of that, but isn't very good at any of them. These days, as more women enter the trades, you may sometimes hear the female version, "Jill of all trades," rather than the male version.


What is a word that means jack of all trades?

It isn't really always true, but the general idea is that when a person has spent a great deal of time learning about many, many different things, that person probably hasn't taken the time to learn about and practice in depth any one of those things. There are people who have broad interests, good minds and a variety of excellent skills and for whom "master of none" would be an unfair assessment.
