Etymology
Greek borrowed the word directly from English "jazz" in the twentieth century, along with the music genre itself. The origin of the English word is disputed and not clearly tied to an older root; it surfaced in American slang before it named the music. Greek kept the spelling and sound close to the English original and treated the word as indeclinable.
