The standard rule in French is to write m in front of /m/, /p/ or /b/ – the rule does not apply to the words derived from bon: embonpoint, bonbonnerie, bonbonnier and bonbonnière. The word bonbonne, however, is not derived from bon, but 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 ==== → Bulgarian: бонбон (bonbon) → Dutch: bonbon→ Indonesian: bonbon → English: bonbon → German: Bonbon → Ladino: bombón → Ottoman Turkish: بون بون (bonbon) Turkish: bonbon → Portuguese: bombom → Romanian: bomboană → Sotho: dipompong → Spanish: bombón === Adverb === bonbon (slang) expensive === References === === Further reading === “bonbon”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 == Indonesian == === Etymology === From Dutch bonbon, from French bonbon, reduplication of bon (“good”), from Latin bonus. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbɔnbɔn] Hyphenation: bon‧bon Rhymes: -bon, -on, -n === 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 == 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
