History
Etymology
So called because the church service began on that day with the 66th Psalm, "Jubilate Deo".
Borrowed from Ecclesiastical Latin jūbilāte (“rejoice!, shout ye!”), second-person plural present active imperative of jūbilō, the first word of the psalm in Latin.
Either a back-formation from jubilation, or borrowed from Latin iūbilātus, perfect passive participle of iubilō (“to shout for joy”), see -ate (verb-forming suffix).
