Etymology
The word comes directly from English "jack", the term for a small plug-and-socket connector used in audio and electrical equipment. English itself extended the common name "Jack" to many mechanical devices and fittings starting in the 16th century. Romanian borrowed the technical sense wholesale in the late 20th century, along with the equipment it names, rather than translating it.
