Name
Found this in the article. As a comment it belongs here.
//The text written in hindi for the word "Jugaad" has its last alphabet incorrect. I do not know how to correct it, so I'm adding this comment to alert someone who knows how to correct hindi text. But I do know hindi very well to be sure that the last letter of the word written here in hindi is incorrect.

//Any clues about it's etymology ? Is it because it is juda gaadi (mashed up vehicle) abbreviates to jugaad ?

Juggad vs. Hack
I edited this section and removed the artificial dichotomy of jugaad=poor people's tool whereas hack=cerebral hobby of richer people. Such a class distinction is not present in the concept of a hack. In fact the two terms are very similar in concept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.182.2.26 (talk) 14:03, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
That's right. It most likely originated from "jugat" meaning trick, scheme, plan to achieve something difficult. Jugaad indicates achieving the results with minimum or no resources and in innovative/unconventional ways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.53.46.140 (talk) 15:54, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- For the "better educated" in the US, the term would be kludge. For those in formerly isolated areas, the term would be either "hillbilly <whatever>" or "redneck <whatever>", as both groups lacked resources in the past (and some STILL lack resources, due to financial issues). Overall, one finds said designs somewhat efficient, solves the problem at hand, typically lacks safety standards accepted in the well provisioned and financed world and uses whatever sparse resources at hand are available. Now, if only we had a guide to how it is properly pronounced...24.127.137.154 (talk) 04:46, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
more exact translation?
Sounds like the term jerry-rigging to me! Perhaps a local California term? I don't find it in the dictionary, but I grew up hearing it frequently.Chamundi Sabanathan (talk) 16:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
