Origin of Jism
Origin 1: Originally US English; first attested with the meaning “energy” in 1842, and with the meaning “semen” in c.1888.[1] For semantic development, compare spunk. Perhaps ultimately from British dialect chism, chissom (“a shoot, sprout, sprig”).[2]
Origin 2: Unlikely to be related to Arabic جِسْم (jism, “body”) (or its derivative Hindi जिस्म (jisma)).
