To jilt someone is to drop them as a lover, quite suddenly, after they thought things were going well — you leave them hanging, often for somebody else. The person who does that can be called a jilt, though that noun feels old now. The verb is a little old-fashioned too: the sort of word you meet in stories, songs, and slightly dramatic talk. “She jilted him at the altar” is a classic line. In everyday speech people more often say dump, leave, or break up with. Jilt has a sharper sting: it suggests a hope, or even a promise, that was broken. Though actually, it is about romance, not about cancelling a dinner or leaving a job. The hurt person is jilted; the one who walked away jilted them.
突然甩掉（戀人）
組成A shortening of older jillet, which meant a giddy girl or a flirt (a “jill-flirt”).
