Job's patience has even seemed to imply want of energy, and the term would easily become a nickname for lethargy, but was not easily distinguished from sheer stupidity; v. Joppe, Joppus, and Joppa, Promptorium Parvulorum, where Joppe may be Job. Jobling may therefore belong to the nickname class without affecting the origin given above.
