quibble词源

quibble

quibble: [17] Quibble probably originated as a rather ponderous learned joke-word. It is derived from an earlier and now obsolete quib ‘pun’, which appears to have been based on quibus, the dative and ablative plural of Latin quī ‘who, what’. The notion is that since quibus made frequent appearances in legal documents written in Latin, it became associated with pettifogging points of law.

quibble (n.)

1610s, \"a pun, a play on words,\" probably a diminutive of obsolete quib \"evasion of point at issue,\" based on an overuse of Latin quibus? in legal jargon, which supposedly gave it the association with trivial argument. Meaning \"equivocation, evasion of the point\" is attested from 1660s.

quibble (v.)

\"equivocate, evade the point, turn from the point in question or the plain truth,\" 1650s, from quibble (n.). Earlier \"to pun\" (1620s). Related: Quibbled; quibbling.
