† babbartn.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: an element of uncertain origin, -ard suffix.

Etymology: Probably < a first element of uncertain origin (see note) + -ard suffix. Perhaps compare babber-lipped adj. N.E.D. (1885) tentatively compares ‘bob , dialectally also bab ’, without however identifying precisely which word is intended. Although on semantic grounds bob v.³ seems possible as base (with reference to the nimble movement of the hare), that verb only has a regional variant bab in considerably later (Scots) use, and other bob homonyms showing similar formal variation do so at a much later date (and usually in Scots). Alternatively, it is possible that the first element may be the syllable /ba/ characteristic of early infantile vocalization which also ultimately underlies e.g. babble v.¹, baby n., and baboon n., although in this case the semantic motivation is equally uncertain; perhaps compare the sense development ‘thick lip’, ‘(of a person or animal) having thick lips’, which is well attested in the lexical family of French babouin baboon n.; compare also babber-lipped adj.

Obsolete. rare.

(A name for) the hare.The repetition of the word in quot. ?a1300 is perhaps the result of scribal error.
