Verbum Hodiernum: IBI

IBI Dictionary Entry

---

Today's word is the adverb IBI, which means "there, in that place" in terms of space and "then, at that time" in terms of time. To learn more about ibi, read the essay about ubi from a few weeks ago, as the words ibi and ubi are correlative adverbs.

From ibi comes the Latin word ibidem, "in that same place," which gives us the bibliographical abbreviation ibid. in English.
