2. The Jazz Age describes the period from 1918-1929 -
the years after the end of World War I, continuing
through the Roaring Twenties and ending with the
rise of the Great Depression.
The word " jazz" itself is thought to derive from the
word "jasm" (variants of slang - jism or gism), which
the Historical Dictionary of American Slang dates to
1842 and defines as "spirit; energy; spunk." Jism
also means semen.
