juggler (n.) c.1100, iugulere "jester, buffoon," also "wizard, sorcerer," from O.E. geogelere "magician, conjurer," also from Anglo-Fr. jogelour, O.Fr. jogleor (acc.), from L. ioculatorem (nom. ioculator) "joker," from ioculari "to joke, to jest" (see JOCULAR (Cf. jocular)). Connecting notion between "magician" and "juggler" is dexterity.
