The Trésor de la langue française informatisé cites sources that reject most of these hypotheses, including the only one in the dictionary of the Spanish Real Academia, which presents this as if it were not just one of many conjectures: \"From Ancient Greek κατά Ματθαῖον (katá Matthaîon, “according to Matthew”), in reference to the way he describes the genealogy at the beginning of his Gospel.\" The Trésor comments it is commonly believed to be from Late Latin ballēmatia (“dance; obscene song”). Coromines and Pascual prefer a derivation from Latin Joseph ab Arimathia (“Joseph of Arimathea”), where Arimathia was thought of as an exotic place or country, then applied to incomprehensible speech, while also stating that the etymology may never be known with confidence, and that it appears the term is an invention of Michel de Montaigne's.",

Coromines and Pascual prefer a derivation from Latin Joseph ab Arimathia (“Joseph of Arimathea”), where Arimathia was thought of as an exotic place or country, then applied to incomprehensible speech, while also stating that the etymology may never be known with confidence, and that it appears the term is an invention of Michel de Montaigne's.",
