The off-road, four-wheel drive vehicle which has become famous worldwide, is generically known, regardless of its manufacturer, as jeep, originating in the concept of a vehicle produced in the USA during World War II. The etymology of the common noun jeep seems uncertain, therefore this article aims to analyze the three main theories (the GP abbreviation hypothesis, the slang origin and the nickname theory) in order to propose a viable solution.
La voiture tout-terrain à traction intégrale, connue au niveau international, n’importe lequel fût son fabriquant, sous la désignation générique de jeep, aura été conçue, en tant que véhicule, aux États-Unis d’Amérique, durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. L’étymologie du nom commun jeep semble incertaine et c’est la raison pour laquelle, dans le présent article, on analyse les trois principales théories à son sujet (l’hypothèse de l’abréviation GP, l’origine argotique et la théorie du sobriquet), dans le but de proposer une solution viable.
