Etymology: The base is "jazz," the American music term, with a slangy "-bo" ending added to turn it into a noun for a person. The ending gives the word a chummy, nicknamish tone, and it appears in other informal American coinages from the same period. The result names a devotee rather than the music itself, and the suffix carries the colorful, exuberant flavor the sense describes. The exact date of its first appearance and the precise details of its coinage are not something I can confirm here.

Synonyms: jazzman, musician, entertainer
