662: quodlibet and quibble Sep 30, 2016

Whatever the philosophical or otherwise academic thought may be, there is a chance that it will simply met with, 'whatever'. Nothing is certain about attitudes of societies in the past, but a fair guess is that a similar the same response would be given, regardless of the era. The Latin, 'quodlibet', or 'any whatever' was a name designated for various academic arguements. No one is quite sure of how that meaning was then also transferred to musical mélanges, but more sensibly, 'quibbling' is also related to a quodlibet.
