ribaudredadj.

Brit.

/ˈrɪbədrᵻd/, U.S.

/ˈrɪbədrəd/

Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item.

Etymology: Probably the result of an editorial misreading (see below), but understood by many editors of Shakespeare to show a derivative of ribald n. or ribald adj. (compare -ed suffix²).

A disputed reading of Shakespeare's Antony & Cleopatra iii. x. (see quot. a1616), equated by various editors and commentators with ribald n. and adj.; hence in allusive use. N. E. D. (1909) describes the word as ‘a corrupt reading..which has not yet been satisfactorily emended’. Wells and Taylor, in their 1986 edition of the Compl. Wks., read the passage as riband red Nagge (see also their Textual Compan. (1987) 5551/2); but most earlier and later commentators interpret it as some variant of ribald. For a short editorial history see the Arden Shakespeare: Antony & Cleopatra (1995), p. 201, note 10.
