Etimology of Pabulum

(You may find pabulum at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).

food for anything, 1670s, from Latin pabulum “fodder, food, nourishment,” from PIE root *pa- “to feed” + instrumentive suffix *-dhlom. Pablum (1932), derived from this, is a trademark (Mead Johnson & Co.) for a soft, bland cereal used as a food for infants and weak and invalid people, hence figurative use (attested from 1970, first by U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew) in reference to “mushy” political prose.
