Compare English goodies. The standard rule in French is to write ⟨m⟩ in front of bilabial consonants (/m/, /p/, /b/). This rule does not apply to the words derived from bon, including embonpoint, bonbonnerie, bonbonnier, and bonbonnière. The word bonbonne (“carboy”) is unrelated from bon and borrowed from Occitan boumbouno, ultimately from Latin bombus; the variant spelling bombonne reflects this etymology and has been noted as such by some lexicographers. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bɔ̃.bɔ̃/ Rhymes: -ɔ̃ === Noun === bonbon m (plural bonbons) sweet, candy ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === Adverb === bonbon (slang) expensive === References === === Further reading === “bonbon”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 == Indonesian == === Etymology === Borrowed from Dutch bonbon, from French bonbon, reduplication of bon (“good”), from Latin bonus. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbɔnbɔn] Rhymes: -bon, -on, -n Hyphenation: bon‧bon === Noun === bonbon (plural bonbon-bonbon) (dialectal) bonbon Synonyms: kembang gula, gula-gula, permen === Further reading === “bonbon”, in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language] (in Indonesian), Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016 == Italian == === Etymology === Unadapted borrowing from French bonbon. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bomˈbɔn/ Rhymes: -ɔn Hyphenation: bon‧bòn === Noun === bonbon m (invariable) bonbon === References === === Further reading === bonbon in Treccani.it – Vocabolario Treccani on line, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana == Romanian == === Noun === bonbon n (plural bonboane) obsolete form of bomboană ==== Declension ==== === References === bonbon in Academia Română, Micul dicționar academic, ediția a II-a, Bucharest: Univers Enciclopedic, 2010. →ISBN
