Etymology
The word 'blabber' originates from the late 19th century, derived from the Middle English term 'blabben', which means to talk foolishly or to chatter. Its roots can be traced further back to the Old English 'blabbrian', which likely mimicked the sound of babbling. The evolution of the term reflects the transition from a literal interpretation of noisy sound to one that signifies talking carelessly or indiscriminately, especially when revealing confidential information or gossiping. Over time, 'blabber' and its derived forms, such as 'blabbered', have been popularly used in colloquial English to describe someone who talks too much, often in a light-hearted or pejorative context.
