An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/jubeln

by Friedrich Kluge

jubeln, vb., ‘to rejoice loudly, exult.’ allied to MidHG. jubilieren. This word (formed like MidLat. jubilare, comp. Ital. giubilare) is still wanting in MidHG. and OHG. Jubel, ‘shout of joy, exultation,’ too, first occurs in ModHG.
