# It's basically a well.
From the French 'oublier' - to forget. It's a long, deep hole where you put people and forget about them.

# Ta
Could be lots of French terminology derived from oublier though. Oubliette could be 'the state of forgetting to return to work after an unfeasibly long lunch break', or 'the unattractive habit of forgetting to resist invasion', or any number of things really.
