Webster's 1828 Dictionary

ALIBI

n.[L.] Elsewhere; in another place; a law term. When a person is charged with an offense, and he proves that he could not have committed it, because he was, at the time, in another place, he is said to prove an alibi. The part of a plea or allegation, which avers the party to have been in another place, is also called an alibi.

New American Oxford Dictionary

alibi

al i bi |ˈaləˌbī ˈæləˌbaɪ | ▶noun ( pl. alibis ) a claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act, typically a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place: she has an alibi for the whole of yesterday evening | a defense of alibi. • informal an excuse or pretext: a catch-all alibi for failure and inadequacy. ▶verb ( alibis, alibied, alibiing ) [ with obj. ] informal offer an excuse or defense for (someone ), esp. by providing an account of their whereabouts at the time of an alleged act: her friend agreed to alibi her. • [ no obj. ] make excuses: not once do I recall him whining or alibiing. ORIGIN late 17th cent. (as an adverb in the sense ‘elsewhere ’): from Latin, ‘in another place; elsewhere. ’ The noun use dates from the late 18th cent. usage: The weakened nonlegal use of alibi to mean simply ‘an excuse ’ is a fairly common and natural extension of the core meaning. It is acceptable in standard English, although regarded as incorrect by some traditionalists.
