Origin:
The word "ajar" has been in use since the early 13th century. It is derived from the Old French word "entr'ouvrir," which means "to open slightly." This word is in turn derived from the Late Latin word "interaperire," meaning "to open midway." The Latin word is composed of "inter-" (between) and "aperire" (to open), indicating that something is partially open.
Over time, the word "entr'ouvrir" evolved into "ajar" in English. Its meaning has remained relatively unchanged, referring to the act of opening something slightly or partially.
