Etymology

From Middle French jardin, from Old French jardin, ("garden, enclosure", probably from Vulgar Latin or early Gallo-Romance hortus gardinus, from Old Frankish *gardin, oblique case of *gardo (“enclosure, yard”) (compare also Old French jart (“garden”))), from Proto-Germanic *gardô (“enclosure, garden, house”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰordʰos (“hedge, enclosure”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰerdʰ- (“court, yard”). Cognate with Old High German gart, garto (“garden, enclosure, yard”), Old English ġeard (“garden, yard, fence, enclosure”). Cognate with English garden, which was derived from an Anglo-Norman/Old Northern French variant. More at yard.
