Thanks, wwh! I'll repay the favor sometime. I liked the match stick comparison, by the way.

Somehow the proposed origin above of the word doesn't make sense to me. Jealousy might make someone want to peek in windows if they could do so without being seen, not the reverse.
Perhaps this is in the sense of keeping something jealously guarded, or secret.

Jealousy? Das ist ja lousie. Sue a beggar and catch a Laus.
Incidentyally;, I never ;heaar the word "jealousy" without hearing the wonderful music of the tango by that name.
