Etymology

[edit]

From nugae (“nonsense”) +‎ palam (“publicly”) +‎ loqui (“to speak”). Coined by Titus Maccius Plautus (Plaut. Pers. line 703). The term is a modern rendering of the word in the original text, which renders it as Nugiepiloquides, from nugae (“nonsense”) +‎ epi (“on”) +‎ loqui (“to speak”). Therefore, the term would be defined as "a person publicly speaking [on the subject] of nonsense."
