Etymology
From Middle English jonket (“basket made of rushes; food, probably made of sour milk or cream; banquet, feast.”), from Medieval Latin iuncta, possibly from Latin iuncus (“rush, reed”) and therefore a possible doublet of jonquil.
Meaning shifted to "feast of banquet" by 1520s, probably via the notion of a picnic basket. This in turn led to the sense of "pleasure-trip" (1814), and then to specifically to "trip made ostensibly for business but which entails merrymaking or entertainment" by 1886 in American English.
