Etymology
Jerkiness comes from the common verb jerk, which means 'a sudden pull' or 'sharp movement', plus the ending -ness meaning 'state or quality'. So jerkiness is the state of sudden, uneven, or stopping-and-starting movement, which is why we use it for a rough ride, a stiff walk, or a choppy film.
