late Middle English: from Old French jonquette ‘rush basket’, from jonc ‘rush’, from Latin juncus . Originally denoting a rush basket, especially one for fish (remaining in dialect use), the term also denoted a cream cheese, formerly made in a rush basket or served on a rush mat. A later extended sense, ‘feast, merrymaking’, gave rise to junket (sense 1 of the noun).
