Etymology

The word 'jangler' finds its roots in the Middle English term 'janglen', which meant to talk foolishly or to chatter. This word may have connections to the Old English 'jangian', meaning to make a noise or to chatter, suggesting a link to loud or continuous speech. Over time, the meaning has evolved to signify confusion and a lack of clarity in speech. By the 18th century, 'jangler' became associated with those who engage in nonsensical or trivial conversation. The term has remained in informal use, capturing the essence of aimless chatter that often lacks substance or purpose.
