The Roman king of the gods, also called Jupiter; an old-fashioned exclamation expressing surprise or emphasis.
From Latin 'Iuppiter' or 'Iovis,' derived from Indo-European 'dyeu' meaning sky or bright. The Romans borrowed and adapted the god from the Indo-European tradition. The interjection 'By Jove!' became popular in English literature.
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is named after this Roman god—and it's so massive that 1,300 Earths could fit inside it, which is why ancient astronomers named it after their most powerful god!
