Etymology of BAUBLING

The word "baubling" is derived from the noun "bauble", which can refer to a small, cheap, and decorative object often of little intrinsic value. The term "bauble" originated from the Middle English word "bable" or "babyl", which meant a child's plaything or a petty trinket. This Middle English word is believed to be derived from the Old French word "baubel" or "babil", which referred to a child's toy or a trifle. Ultimately, the Old French term can be traced back to the Latin word "babulus", meaning a stammering or foolish child. Thus, over time, "bauble" has come to represent something trivial or insignificant, and "baubling" is an adjective form used to describe such things.
