Etymology

The word 'garrulously' originates from the Latin word 'garrulus', which means 'talkative' or 'chattering'. 'Garrulus' is derived from the verb 'garrire', meaning 'to chatter' or 'to prattle'. The transition to English occurred during the late Middle Ages, incorporating an adverbial suffix '-ly' to describe the manner in which one talks excessively or incessantly. The use of 'garrulous' became more prevalent in English literature, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, as a way to characterize people with a tendency to engage in prolonged conversation often without substantial content. Over time, 'garrulously' has found its place in both formal and informal contexts, often used in literature to depict characters that are overly talkative.
