Шаблон:Short description In ancient Rome, a Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPAc-en[1] Шаблон:Respelling) was a professional jester or buffoon.[2] Шаблон:Lang were paid for their jests, and the tables of the wealthy were generally open to them for the sake of the amusement they afforded.

There are various theories about the origin of the term. In Horace, Balatro is used as a proper name: Шаблон:Lang.[3] An old scholiast derives the common word Шаблон:Lang from the proper name, suggesting that buffoons were called Шаблон:Lang because Шаблон:Lang was a buffoon, though others have since objected to this account. Festus derives the word from Шаблон:Lang, and supposes buffoons to have been called Шаблон:Lang because they were dirty fellows, covered with spots of mud (Шаблон:Lang) from walking.[4] Another writer suggests a derivation from Шаблон:Lang, because they, so to speak, carried their jesting to market, even into the very depth (Шаблон:Lang) of the shambles (Шаблон:Lang)[5] Шаблон:Lang may be connected with Шаблон:Lang, "to bleat like a sheep", and hence, to speak sillily. Others have suggested a connection with Шаблон:Lang, a busy-body.[6]
