'bar or bolt used to fasten a door, window, etc.,' c. 1300, from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German slot (compare Old Norse slot, Old High German sloz, German Schloss 'bolt, bar, lock, castle;' Old Saxon slutil 'key,' Dutch slot 'a bolt, lock, castle'), from Proto-Germanic stem *slut- 'to close' (source also of Old Frisian sluta, Dutch sluiten, Old High German sliozan, German schliessen 'to shut, close, bolt, lock'), from PIE root *klau- 'hook,' also 'peg, nail, pin,' all things used as locks or bolts in primitive structures.

Perhaps from Greek kleiein 'to sheathe,' also 'to shut,' in reference to its being covered by the labia minora. The related Greek noun kleis has a secondary meaning 'a key, a latch or hook (to close a door);' see close (v.), and compare slot (n.2).
Alternatively [Watkins], from Greek kleitys, a variant of klitys 'side of a hill,' from PIE *kleitor-, suffixed form of root *klei- 'to lean,' via with a sense of 'little hill.' Some ancient medical sources give a supposed Greek verb kleitoriazein 'to touch or titillate lasciviously, to tickle' (compare German slang der Kitzler 'clitoris,' literally 'the tickler'), but in this case the verb is likely from the anatomy.
As for the Greeks themselves, they seem to have called the thing nymphē, a figurative use, literally 'bride, lovely young woman;' Beekes also has kystho-korone 'clitoris,' literally 'crown of the vagina.'
The anatomist Mateo Renaldo Colombo (1516-1559), professor at Padua, claimed to have discovered it ('De re anatomica,' 1559, p. 243). He called it amor Veneris, vel dulcedo 'the love or sweetness of Venus.' It had been known earlier to women.

The sense was extended to 'bag full of letters' (1650s; perhaps via phrases such as a mail of letters, 1654) and 'person or vehicle that carries postal matter' (1650s). From thence, to 'letters and parcels' generally (1680s) and 'the system of transmission by public post' (1690s).

Related entries & morejackpot(n.)also jack-pot, 'big prize,' 1944, from slot machine sense (1932), from now-obsolete poker sense (1881) in reference to antes that begin when no player has a pair of jacks or better; from jack (n.) in the card-playing sense + pot (n.1). Earlier, in criminal slang, it meant 'trouble,' especially 'an arrest' (1902).
The regular Draw-Poker game is usually varied by occasional Jack-Pots, which are played once in so many deals, or when all have refused to play, or when the player deals who holds the buck, a marker placed in the pool with every jack-pot. In a jack-pot each player puts up an equal stake and receives a hand. The pot must then be opened by a player holding a hand of the value of a pair of knaves (jacks) or better. If no player holds so valuable a hand the deal passes and each player adds a small sum to the pot or pool. When the pot is opened the opener does so by putting up any sum he chooses, within the limit, and his companions must pay in the same amount or 'drop.' They also possess the right to raise the opener. The new cards called for are then dealt and the opener starts the betting, the play proceeding as in the regular game. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., 1911, 'Poker.' The article notes 'Jack-Pots were introduced about 1870.']
To hit the jackpot 'be very successful' is from 1938.
