jar
Wide-mouthed vessel
A jar is a cylindrical container, typically glass or ceramic, with a wide mouth: a jar of pickles, a mason jar.
The word extends to the contents: We finished the whole jar.
As a verb, jar means to shake or jolt, or to have a harsh, unsettling effect: The news jarred her.
Things that jar clash unpleasantly: His casual tone jarred with the gravity of the situation.
A door left ajar is slightly open—from an unrelated word meaning "on the turn."
