Definition
Protective garments worn over clothing, typically by babies during feeding or by adults during messy activities.
Etymology
From Latin bibere 'to drink,' originally referring to the act of drinking. The garment sense developed in the 16th century, as bibs were associated with protecting clothes while drinking or eating.
Kelly Says
The connection between 'bibs' and 'imbibe' reveals their shared Latin root 'bibere' - both relate to drinking! Medieval adults actually wore bibs too, especially during elaborate feasts where spilling was common and changing clothes was impractical.
