Forms: Old English–Middle English 1700s– obelus, Middle English oboly (plural).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin obelus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin obelus critical mark (4th cent.) < ancient Greek ὀβελός spit, obelisk, in Hellenistic Greek also critical mark; further etymology uncertain. Compare Anglo-Norman obel (14th cent. or earlier), French obèle (1689), obel (1935), Italian obelo (1585; 1500 as obello), Spanish obelo (1280).In early use occasionally with Latin case inflections (compare quot. a1382²).

= obelisk n. 2. In quot. 1765: a mark resembling this, found on certain ancient coins (cf. obelisk n. 3).The use of obelus in the Middle English period appears to have been replaced by the use of obelisk in the early modern period. Since the 19th cent., both terms have been current.
