'babelic' originates from English, ultimately from the Biblical name 'Babel' (Hebrew 'Bāvel'), where the name referred to the city associated with confusion of languages.

'babelic' was formed in English by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to 'Babel' (a word that entered English via Latin and Old French from Hebrew 'Bāvel'), producing the modern adjective 'babelic'.

Initially, 'Babel' was a proper name for a city; over time the name came to symbolize 'confusion of tongues' and then yielded adjectives like 'babelic' meaning 'characterized by confused noise or multilingual disorder'.
