The word "jeopardy" originates from the Old French term "jeu parti," which means "a game that is even" or "a divided game." This phrase was used in legal contexts to refer to a situation where a person was at risk of losing something, particularly in terms of legal rights or life. The term evolved in Middle English to "jeopardy," retaining its connotation of risk and danger.
