† babillardn.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French. Etymon: French babillard.

Etymology: Apparently < French babillard (adjective) talkative (1555 in Middle French; often applied to birds, e.g. in fauvette babillarde , literally ‘talkative whitethroat’, a name of the lesser whitethroat (1756 or earlier)) < babiller to chatter (see babble v.¹) + -ard -ard suffix. Compare French babillard (noun) chatterer, talkative person (16th cent. in Middle French), (regional: Arbois) denoting the whitethroat ( Sylvia communis), use as noun of babillard , adjective. Compare babbler n. 4. N.E.D. (1885) gives the pronunciations as (babil^yā·r, bæ·bilaɹd) /babɪˈʎɑːr/ /ˈbæbɪlɑːd/.
