Etymology
The word 'slobber' originates from the Middle English term 'slobberen', which is thought to be of imitative origin, capturing the sound associated with salivating or dripping saliva. Its use can be traced back to the 13th century, where it was used to describe the action of drooling or letting saliva run from the mouth. This term has Old English roots with a similar word 'slลthra', which pertains to slobbering or dribbling. Over time, 'slobber' evolved to describe both animal and human actions related to excessive salivation. The concept has cultural significance as it portrays either a state of excitement (often seen in pets) or lack of control during eating. In modern usage, 'slobbering' can also be used metaphorically to describe overly enthusiastic or fawning behavior, especially in reference to people's actions towards celebrities or in romantic contexts.
