Word origin

The word 'rambly' is derived from the verb 'ramble' which originated in the late 16th century. It is related to the Old High German word 'rammลn' meaning 'to roam'. Over time, 'ramble' evolved to describe wandering or moving aimlessly, which then gave rise to the adjective 'rambly' to describe speech or writing that is lengthy and unfocused.
