The word bubble originates from Middle English bobel, likely imitative in origin, mimicking the sound or motion of bubbling liquid. The suffix -ing is added to form the present participle, indicating ongoing action or a descriptive quality. The morpheme bubble retains its core meaning of gas-filled spheres in liquid, while -ing dynamically extends it to describe continuous or lively activity.
