The word jam means "to press tightly," or "to become wedged" It was first used in 1706. It is often associated with the word identifying the material which is jammed - a log jam for floating logs, an ice jam for ice in a river, a paper jam in a printing press or copying machine, and a traffic jam for vehicles on a road.
