Etymology
1. 1546, formed from
jousten (see joust) + frequentative suffix
-tle. The usual spelling 17c.-18c. was
justle. An earlier meaning of the word was "to have sex with" (c.1400).
2. Originally justle (“to have sex with”), formed from Middle English jousten, from the Old French joster (“to joust”), from Latin iuxtā (“next to”), from iungō (“join, connect”), equivalent to joust + -le. See: Old French '
joster'.
