Meaning of de bobilis




John Rene Plaut

de bobilis
  29

FROM BIBILIS Modal Adverb which means free, free of charge, without any effort. Used by Cervantes in the first part, chapter 30 of Quixote "Shut up . marry later. . . and take that kingdom that comes into the hands of vobis, vobis." It is thought that the original said of bile, bobilis, but vovis in Latin means for you and bobilis is a deformation of this expression.
