Origin: A borrowing from Yiddish. Etymon: Yiddish bubele.
Etymology: < Yiddish bubele < bobe grandmother (see bubbe n.) + -le , suffix forming diminutives (ultimately < Middle High German -līn , suffix forming diminutives), the term originally being applied to baby girls and later extended to boys. Compare bubbe n.The use as a form of address for a child derives from the custom of ‘inverse address’: a grandmother calls her granddaughter ‘little grandmother’, using the inverse of the relationship in which the grandchild stands to her. This custom is also seen in Yiddish mamele, which means both ‘dear mother’ and ‘dear little child’.
In Jewish use: a term of endearment or form of address, esp. for a child or elderly relative; ‘sweetheart’, ‘darling’, ‘honey’.
