What 尽 means
It means “use up,” “finish,” or “use fully.”
In Mandarin pinyin (Latin-letter spelling), 尽力 is jìn (tone 4, jin4), “spare no effort”; 尽量 is jǐn (tone 3, jin3), “as much as possible.” 尽管 means “although” or “go ahead.” Traditional forms: 盡力, 儘量, 盡管.
Forms of 盡 appear on bone-and-shell divination inscriptions about 1250–1000 BCE. Shuowen, an early Chinese character dictionary, explains “exhausted” through an emptied vessel; it describes 盡, not modern 尽.
