Question Author
Mamyalynne the answer is clear but without your explanation I would be scratching my head for years! Thanks also Scorpiojo.
Ooops,I meant of course Jos(s) - luck mainly.


joss


joss 1. An image or statue representing a Chinese deity. 2. A Chinese god worshiped in the form of an idol. 3. Etymology: a Chinese figure of a deity, 1711, from Chinese Pidgin English; from Javanese dejos, from Portuguese deus, 'god'; from Latin deus. Colloquially, it came to mean 'luck'; then, a Joss stick and 'Chinese incense' was first record
Where do you get joss from? Not in Chambers.
Ignore my post above!
My resource was here,but agree it is not in common use,though we call someone a 'Lucky joss' here have heard others say 'Lucky Josh'-still think it works for the clue.
