Etymology
The word 'prattle' comes from Middle English 'pratlen', which is a frequentative form of 'prat', meaning to talk foolishly or to babble. Its roots can be traced back to the early dialect of English, where the suffix implies a small or infantile action, often associated with childish chatter. The term has evolved over time to denote not just the act of speaking, but specifically speaking in a way that is perceived to be trivial or unimportant. While the focus historically may have been on immature speech, today it encompasses any conversation that seems to lack depth, regardless of the speaker's age.
