Etymology

1. 1297, from O.Fr. joindre, from L. jungere "to join, yoke," from PIE *yeug- "to join, unite" (see jugular). A joiner (1386) was a craftsman who did lighter and more ornamental work than a carpenter. Join up "enlist in the army" is from 1916. Phrase if you can't beat them, join them is from 1955. Out of joint in the fig. sense is from 1415.
2. From Middle English joinen, joynen, joignen, from Old French joindre, juindre, jungre, from Latin iungō (“join, yoke”, verb), from Proto-Indo-European *yewg- (“to join, unite”). Cognate with Old English iucian, iugian, ġeocian, ġyċċan (“to join; yoke”). More at yoke. See: Middle English 'joinen', Old French 'joindre', Latin 'iungō'.
