Compare Old French, Middle French, French placebo (13th cent. in sense 2 in phrases chanter placebo (also chanter a placebo , chanter de placebo : compare to sing (a) placebo at sense 2), parler a placebo , etc.; late 14th cent. in sense 1; late 14th cent. or earlier in sense 3 in the allegorical name Nicole Placebo ; now only in sense 4, which is not paralleled in French before 1954).
