Word origin
The word 'gobbling' originates from the Middle English term 'goblen', meaning 'to swallow greedily'. Over time, the word evolved to describe the act of eating quickly and noisily. The association with the sound made while eating, resembling 'gobble gobble', further solidified the definition. Gobbling has since become a common term used to depict fast and often uncouth eating behavior.
