Etymology: "Jogglers" is the plural of "joggler," a word for a performer who keeps objects moving in rhythmic patterns. The noun is a blend, combining "jogger" and "juggler," or alternatively formed from "joggle," a verb meaning to shake or jolt gently, with the agent suffix "-er" added on. Both routes point to the same sense of repeated, bouncing motion, so the word sits comfortably alongside the more familiar "juggler."
