Etymology
جَوْلَة comes from the triliteral root ج-و-ل (j-w-l), which carries the sense of roaming and moving about. It is the noun of single instance from the verb جالَ, 'to roam,' so it names one act of going around: a round or a tour. The same root yields مَجال, 'field or scope,' and جَوّال, 'roving.'
