Etymology

The word 'blabbing' derives from the Middle English term 'blabben', which means 'to talk foolishly or carelessly'. The origins can be traced back to Old Norse 'blabbra', which translates to 'to babble'. The term evolved over the centuries, adopting connotations of excessive or indiscreet talking. By the 19th century, 'blabbing' had become more commonly used in English vernacular to describe someone who reveals secrets or gossip. The informal nature of the word is reflected in its usage, often associated with casual or light-hearted conversations, where the speaker is less concerned about the gravity of the words being shared.
