jungle, n.

Pronunciation:  /ˈdʒʌŋɡ(ə)l/

Forms:  Also 18 jangal, jingle, jungul.

Etymology:  < Hindi and Marathi jangal desert, waste, forest, Sanskrit jaṇgala dry, dry ground, desert. 

The change in Anglo-Indian use may be compared to that in the historical meaning of the word forest in its passage from a waste or unenclosed tract to one covered with wild wood. In the transferred sense of jungle there is apparently a tendency to associate it with tangle.

 1. In India, originally, as a native word, Waste or uncultivated ground (= ‘forest’ in the original sense); then, such land overgrown with brushwood, long grass, etc.; hence, in Anglo-Indian use:

 a. Land overgrown with underwood, long grass, or tangled vegetation; also, the luxuriant and often almost impenetrable growth of vegetation covering such a tract.

 b. with a and pl. A particular tract or piece of land so covered; esp. as the dwelling-place of wild beasts.

c. Extended to similar tracts in other lands, especially tropical.

2. transf. and fig.

a. A wild, tangled mass. Also, a place of bewildering complexity or confusion; a place where the ‘law of the jungle’ prevails; a scene of ruthless competition, struggle, or exploitation; esp. with qualification, as blackboard junglein schools, asphalt jungle, concrete jungle in cities.
