Etymology
The word 'gab' originated from the early 16th century in England, meaning to talk or chatter. It is believed to be of imitative origin, replicating the sound of rapid, informal conversation. Over time, this root evolved into variations like 'gabbier' and 'gabbiest', describing individuals who exhibit excessive talking. The suffix '-est' is used to form the superlative, indicating the highest degree of the quality described, hence 'gabbiest' refers to someone who is exceedingly talkative compared to others. The informal nature of the term reflects its common usage in casual conversation settings, often with a humorous or lighthearted connotation.
