Etymology

The term 'mouthier' likely originates from the noun 'mouth', which has Old English roots derived from the word 'mūð', meaning the same. The suffix '-ier' is a comparative form indicating a higher degree of the quality described. Therefore, 'mouthier' indicates someone who has more propensity to talk compared to others. The transition from Old English to Modern English saw the evolution of various terms related to speech and communication, influenced by the cultural changes in society that emphasized voice and conversation. The word reflects social interactions and the importance of speech as a means of expressing individuality. Over time, as language evolved, so did the connotations associated with being 'talkative', leading to informal uses like 'mouthier'.
