jumper
Sleeveless dress layer
The prosaic and predictable meaning of jumper is the one who jumps.
Beyond that, jumper represents two different pieces of clothing.
In British English, a jumper is a sweater – a knitted upper body garment.
In American English, a jumper is a sleeveless dress worn over a blouse or shirt.
Sometimes, jumper is short for jumper cable, an apparatus for starting a car using the battery power from another car.
On a circuit board, a jumper is a pin that forms a removable connection.
