将“pabulum”分解为“pa”和“bulum”,可以想象这是给小动物或孩子的“婴儿食品”(baby food),因为“pa”可以联想到“paediatric”(儿童或儿科的),而“bulum”则类似于“bulky”或“bulk”,给人感觉是适合婴幼儿食用的粗食或简单食物。这样的形象记忆可以帮助记住“pabulum”指的是乏味或陈腐的内容。

pabulum (n.)
"food" for anything, 1670s, from Latin pabulum "fodder, food, nourishment," from PIE root *pa- "to protect, feed" (see food) + instrumentive suffix *-dhlom.

Pablum (1932), derived from this, is a trademark (Mead Johnson & Co.) for a soft, bland cereal used as a food for infants and weak and invalid people, hence figurative use (attested from 1970, first by U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew) in reference to "mushy" political prose.
