[Etymology]
editA borrowing from Middle Low German un (“and”). It replaced, in this sense, the particle ir (compare Lithuanian ir, which still has the sense of “and”). At first there were competing borrowings from other Germanic dialects (e.g. und, unde), and some forms were influenced by ir (resulting in ind, in), but from the 18th century on, the form un gradually became dominant.[1]

ipa :/ˈdʒɔːdən/[Alternative forms]
edit
- (obsolete): iurdan, iurdane, iurdone, yordan, iourden, iorden, jurdon, jordon, jourdon, jordain, jurden, jourdan, jorden
[Etymology]
editFrom Latin jurdanus, unattested outside of England and of uncertain etymology. Usually derived from a clipped form of Jordan bottle, supposedly a bottle of curative water brought back from the River Jordan by Crusaders and pilgrims to the Holy Land,[1] but this seems unsupported in its actual attestations. Its use for chamber pots may derive from the alchemical device having been used to hold urine.[2]
[Noun]
editjordan (plural jordans)
1.(obsolete) A vessel resembling a retort bulb or Florence flask with a truncated neck and flared mouth, used by medieval doctors and alchemists.
2.15th c., Sloane MS. 73, p. 133:
Make a good lute... and þerwiþ daub þi Iordan al aboute... and putte al þi mater in þe Iordan and hange it ouer þe fier by þe necke þt þe glas be almoost an hond brede fro þe coolis.
3.(obsolete) A chamber pot.
4.1387, Chaucer, “v. 9379”, in The Pardoner's Tale[1]:
And eek thyne urynals and thy jurdones,
Thyn ypocras, and eek thy galiones
5.1440, Promptorium Parvulorum, p. 267:
Iurdone, pyssepotte, iurdanus.
6.a. 1598,, William Shakespeare, The First Part of Henry the Fourth, Act II, Scene i:
2.Car. Why, you will allow vs ne're a Iourden, and then we leake in your Chimney: and your Chamber-lye breeds Fleas like a Loach.

I call him Jordan and it will do. He has no other name before or after. What was there to call him, fished as he was from the stinking Thames? A child can't be called Thames, no and not Nile either, for all his likeness to Moses. But I wanted to given him a river name, a name not bound to anything, just as the waters aren't bound to anything.

[Noun]
editplatform (plural platforms)
1.A raised stage from which speeches are made and on which musical and other performances are made.
2.1918, W. B. Maxwell, chapter 13, in The Mirror and the Lamp:
“[…] They talk of you as if you were Croesus—and I expect the beggars sponge on you unconscionably.” And Vickers launched forth into a tirade very different from his platform utterances. He spoke with extreme contempt of the dense stupidity exhibited on all occasions by the working classes.
3.A place or an opportunity to express one's opinion, a tribune.

4.A kind of high shoe with an extra layer between the inner and outer soles.

6.2012 September 7, Phil McNulty, “Moldova 0-5 England”, in BBC Sport[1]:

9.2013 June 1, “End of the peer show”, in The Economist, volume 407, number 8838, page 71:
Finance is seldom romantic. But the idea of peer-to-peer lending comes close. This is an industry that brings together individual savers and lenders on online platforms. Those that want to borrow are matched with those that want to lend.
10.(geology) A flat expanse of rock, often the result of wave erosion.
11.(nautical) A light deck, usually placed in a section of the hold or over the floor of the magazine.
12.(politics) A political stance on a broad set of issues, which are called planks.
13.(travel) A raised structure from which passengers can enter or leave a train, metro etc.
14.1898, Winston Churchill, chapter 5, in The Celebrity:
We expressed our readiness, and in ten minutes were in the station wagon, rolling rapidly down the long drive, for it was then after nine. […] As we reached the lodge we heard the whistle, and we backed up against one side of the platform as the train pulled up at the other.
15.2013 June 1, “Ideas coming down the track”, in The Economist[2], volume 407, number 8838, page 13 (Technology Quarterly):
A “moving platform” scheme […] is more technologically ambitious than maglev trains even though it relies on conventional rails. Local trains would use side-by-side rails to roll alongside intercity trains and allow passengers to switch trains by stepping through docking bays. This set-up solves several problems […]. Stopping high-speed trains wastes energy and time, so why not simply slow them down enough for a moving platform to pull alongside?
