BIB Meaning and
Definition
-
A bib is a protective garment primarily used to prevent food or liquid spills from soiling a person's clothing. It is typically a fabric or plastic piece that is worn around the neck and fastened behind the back, covering the chest and sometimes reaching down to the waist.
Bibs are commonly used for infants and young children during meals to protect their clothing from food stains and to catch spills. They can be made of various materials, such as soft cloth, terrycloth, or waterproof fabric, offering different levels of absorption and protection. Some baby bibs may also feature a pocket or pouch at the bottom to catch any dropped food, preventing it from falling on the floor.
The term "bib" can also refer to a garment worn by adults or older individuals who require assistance with eating or have conditions that make them prone to spills, such as individuals with disabilities, elderly individuals, or patients in hospitals or nursing homes. Adult bibs are often designed to be larger and more durable than baby bibs, providing better coverage and protection.
Additionally, in certain contexts, "bib" can refer to a specialized type of apron used in various professions or activities. For example, carpenters, painters, and craftsmen may wear bib overalls that provide additional protection and storage for tools, while athletes may wear sports bibs during games or races to identify themselves or display team numbers.

Etymology of BIB
The word "bib" is derived from the Old English word "bibban" which means "to drink". In the late 16th century, it became associated with a piece of cloth or garment worn around the neck to protect the clothes from spills while eating or drinking. Over time, this cloth or garment came to be known as a "bib". So, the word "bib" evolved from its original meaning of drinking to the specific meaning of a protective cloth worn around the neck.
