Etymology: "Bibbed" is simply the past tense and past participle of "bib", so it describes something that has a bib on it, the piece of cloth tied over the chest to catch spills. The verb "bib" originally meant to drink heartily, to tipple, and it probably goes back either to an imitative sound of gulping or to a child-like babbling noise, though the exact origin is unclear. The clothing sense seems to have come from the idea that the garment itself "drinks up" spills, or perhaps from the practice of wearing such a cloth while drinking.
