Forms: Old English Babilonisc, Old English Babylonisc, late Old English Babilonissc, 1500s Babilonish, 1500s Babylonishe, 1600s Babalonish, 1600s– Babylonish.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; perhaps partly modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: proper name Babylon , -ish suffix¹.

In later use perhaps after German babylonisch of, from, or relating to the ancient city of Babylon or to the ancient Babylonian Empire (1525; also †babilonisch). The specific use in sense 2 is apparently not paralleled in German. Compare later Babylonical adj., Babylonic adj., Babylonian adj. With sense 3 compare later Babelish adj.The word apparently became obsolete at the end of the Old English period and was re-formed in the 16th cent.

1. Of, from, or relating to the ancient city of Babylon (now in Iraq), or to the ancient Babylonian Empire (historical). Also: resembling (that of) Babylon or Babylonia. In Old English also as n.
