Etymology
The term 'gaggling' is derived from the Middle English word 'gaggle', which in turn comes from the Old English 'gaggel', meaning the noise made by a goose or group of geese. This etymological lineage reflects the sound that is characterized by a series of harsh, guttural noises associated specifically with waterfowl, primarily geese. Over time, 'gaggle' was used to denote a group of geese, especially when they are gathered together and making noise. The verb form 'gaggling' takes this concept further by describing the action of making those characteristic sounds. The imagery of gaggling has transcended its ornithological roots to be used metaphorically in describing groups of people creating a similar cacophony, particularly in a light-hearted or boisterous context, hence linking it to merriment and communal activities.
