Reborrowing from French gibbon, folk etymology (compare English Gibbon) ultimately from a Northern Aslian language (compare Batek kəboɲ).

'[…] Suppose that in years to come, when the Church's troubles seem to be over, there should come an apostate of my own trade, a false historian, with the mind of Cicero or Tacitus and the soul of an animal,' and he nodded towards the gibbon who fretted his golden chain and chattered for fruit.

A small ape of the family Hylobatidae with long limbs, which it uses to travel through rainforests by swinging from branch to branch.

hylobatid

The principal resemblances between pliopithecines and living hylobatids are found in the skull and dentition (Zapfe 1958).

1972, Elwyn L. Simons, David R. Pilbeam, “Hominoid Paleoprimatology”, in Russell Tuttle, editor, The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates, page 55:

In the absence of an obvious cause, it must be considered unlikely that hylobatids and great apes (including fossil great apes) would have acquired all of these characters independently.

2001, D. R. Begun, “10: African and Eurasian Miocene hominoids and the origins of Hominidae”, in Louis de Bonis, George D. Koufos, Peter Andrews, editors, Hominoid Evolution and Climatic Change in Europe, volume 2, page 238:

However, in cercopithecoids and in hylobatids, the transverse processes are completely embedded in the septum.

2007, Aaron G. Filler, Axial Character Seriation in Mammals, page 120:

(zoology) Any species of the family Hylobatidae; a gibbon.
