Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how bolivar appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
C’était le temps de la lutte des républiques de l’Amérique méridionale contre le roi d’Espagne, de Bolivar contre Morillo. Les chapeaux à petits bords étaient royalistes et se nommaient des morillos ; les libéraux portaient des chapeaux à larges bords qui s’appelaient des bolivars.
Ah ! l’étrange passant ! Sa mise, toujours d’une élégance négligée, était sommée d’un légendaire chapeau bossué — n’est-ce pas incroyable ? — comme celui de Robert-Macaire, et affectant la forme indécise d’un bolivar d’ivrogne après vingt chutes.
