Etymology
The word 'gurgle' originates from the Middle English word 'gurglen', which imitates the sound of water flowing. It has been used in English since the 14th century. The term is onomatopoeic, meaning it sounds like the action it describes. Over time, 'gurgle' has become commonly used to describe the bubbling or gurgling sound made by liquids in motion.
