† babishv.

Forms: Middle English–1500s babyshe, 1500s babish, 1800s babbis (Scottish).

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from French. Etymons: French baubiss-, baubir, bauber.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < Old French baubiss-, lengthened stem of baubir to mock, ridicule (early 13th cent., chiefly in past participle baubi foolish, stupid; compare Middle French babuse , babuise mockery (14th cent. in F. Godefroy Dict. de l'ancienne langue française (1880–1902 ))), apparently a specific semantic development of Old French bauber to stammer, stutter (13th cent.; compare Anglo-Norman baubeer , baubeier , baubier ) < baup , baube stammering, stuttering (see abob v., and compare the French verbs cited at that entry). In later use perhaps influenced by association with babish adj. (which is first attested later).

Obsolete (Scottish in later use).

transitive. To mock, deride (a person); to treat with contempt (as if merely a child).Perhaps intransitive in quot. 1825.
