Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Hindi word 'Jagannāth' (Lord of the Universe), a title of Krishna, whose statue was famously pulled on a massive chariot during an annual festival in Puri, India. British accounts of devotees allegedly throwing themselves under the wheels gave rise to the Western metaphorical sense of an unstoppable, crushing force.
