Etymology

Either a back-formation from jubilation, or borrowed from Latin iūbilātus, perfect passive participle of iubilō (“to shout for joy”), see -ate (verb-forming suffix).

Borrowed from Ecclesiastical Latin jūbilāte (“rejoice!, shout ye!”), second-person plural present active imperative of jūbilō, the first word of the psalm in Latin.

So called because the church service began on that day with the 66th Psalm, "Jubilate Deo".

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun The third Sunday after Easter; --so called because the introit is the 66th Psalm, which, in the Latin version, begins with the words, "Jubilate Deo."
  2. noun A name of the 100th Psalm; --so called from its opening word in the Latin version.
  3. verb To exult; to rejoice. [R.] De Quincey.

Etymology [L., imperat. of jubilare to shout for joy.]

Etymology [L. jubilatus, p. p. of jubilare.]
