Etymology
The word 'gibber' is believed to have originated in the late 16th century, possibly derived from the Middle English word 'gibber,' meaning 'to speak rapidly or inarticulately.' Some etymologists link it to the Old French 'giber,' which means 'to jabber' or 'to speak incoherently.' Over the years, the term has evolved and is often used in literature to convey a sense of chaotic or frantic communication. The vivid imagery associated with gibbering has made it a popular choice in descriptions of characters who are overwhelmed with fear or irrational thoughts. Its use can be found in various contexts, especially in horror and fantasy genres, where characters may gibber in terror or excitement.
