Etymology
The word 'squabber' has its origins in the late 19th century, likely derived from the verb 'squabble,' which means to argue or quarrel over petty matters. The term implies a sense of triviality in the disputes, suggesting that the squabber is engaged in frivolous or insignificant disagreements. The blending of 'squabble' with the suffix '-er' creates a noun that refers to someone who regularly participates in such disputes. Over the years, the term has found its way into various informal contexts, often used to describe someone in social circles who has a propensity for bickering or complaining incessantly, once again emphasizing the nature of their disputes as petty or tiresome.
