Word origin

The word 'gabble' originated in the early 17th century, derived from the Middle English word 'gabben', which meant 'to mock' or 'to jest'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to rapid and unintelligible speech. The term has been used to describe both speech patterns and the sound of noisy, excited chatter.
