Etymology
The word 'drivel' comes from the Middle English term 'drivelen', which itself is derived from the Old English 'drฤซfan', meaning 'to drive'. The sense of 'drivel' has evolved over centuries to specifically denote the act of talking foolishly or nonsensically. Its use in the English language dates back to the 14th century, where it was often used to describe the act of spilling saliva or slaver, which metaphorically extended to foolish or nonsensical talk. The transition from a physical act to a verbal one marks a significant shift in the word's application, reflecting the fluid nature of language over time.
