Having a prominent or projecting jaw; characterized by a pronounced lower jaw (archaic or dialectal description).
Compound word combining 'gimbal' (possibly confused with or corrupted from another word) and 'jawed.' This appears to be a rare dialectal or folk term with uncertain etymology, possibly a misdating or regional variant.
This word is so obscure that it's a linguistic fossil—it appears in some old dictionaries but seems to have never been truly common, representing a failed compound that lost the competition to more successful jaw-describing words like 'lantern-jawed' or simply 'prominent-jawed.'
