en-adj

Babylonic (comparative more Babylonic, superlative most Babylonic)

more Babylonic (comparative)
most Babylonic (superlative)

Pipes of port, hogsheads of claret, cases of champagne, gallons of spirituous liquors, are unaccountably added up, subtracted, and divided, by the rule of three and the rule of contrary, into Babylonic confusion, such as worse confounds the confusion of the proprietor of all this intolerable quantity of sack.

1846, Catherine Grace Frances Gore, Sketches of English Character - Volumes 1-2, page 199:

From confusion and subsequent descent into Babylonic chaos and alterity , God's spirit — his saving , incarnate Word—prepares to enter man's heart and to transform the utter alienation and otherness of nature and society into blessed unity.

1995, James Joseph Bono, The Word of God and the Languages of Man, page 163:

We'd strain to touch those lang'rous Length of thighs; And hear your short sharp modern Babylonic cries.

2016, Djuna Barnes, Katharine Maller, Vivid and Repulsive as the Truth: The Early Works of Djuna Barnes, page 238:

The neighboring computers also pick up on this disturbance of their collective chant, and as each is associatively connecting the new words to its own knowledge base, we hear the voices enter into a Babylonic confusion—or, as Rokeby calls it, "a party-like chaos of voices,"

2016, Andreas Broeckmann, Machine Art in the Twentieth Century, page 91:

If Evelina had no use for Luke Wavering, still less had she for his daughter, Daphne, brought up by him in this atmosphere of Babylonic miasma.
