History
Borrowed from Hindi जुगाड़ (jugāṛ, “joining or union”), itself cognate to English yoke. There are similar idioms in the Dravidian languages, for example, Malayalam തട്ടിക്കൂട്ട് (taṭṭikkūṭṭŭ, “put together”), Malayalam ഒപ്പീര് (oppīrŭ, “fixing or getting”), or Tamil மழட்டு (maḻaṭṭu, “to distract”), Telugu ఉపాయము (upāyamu).
