− | ===Etymology===
| |
− | From {{etyl|enm}} {{term|babe|lang=enm}}, perhaps a variant of earlier {{term|baban|lang=enm}}. Origin obscure. Compare [[mama]], [[dada]], [[papa]]. [[Welsh]] {{term|baban||baby|lang=cy}}, believed by Skeat to be a mutated from ''maban'' diminutive of ''mab'' ("son"), is probably rather a borrowing from the English. <ref>Whitney, ''The Century dictionary and cylcopedia'', babe.</ref>
