Word origin
The word 'chatterer' originated from the Middle English word 'chaterour', which meant 'a person who chatters'. It has been used to describe both people and animals who produce rapid, continuous sounds. The term has been in use for centuries to depict individuals who talk excessively or birds that make high-pitched noises. 'Chatterer' is a combination of the verb 'chatter', meaning to talk rapidly, and the suffix '-er', denoting a person or thing that does a specified action.
