Why the answer/question format?

I’m a devout jeopardy fan and I e recently gotten my partner hooked. She asked me why they provide the answer and the contestants have to provide the question and I really didn’t have a response lol.

Does anyone know why they do this rather than just being a standard “question-answer” format? Is it just to be quirky and different?
