"Gabble" originated in the late 16th century, combining the imitative root gab (mimicking chatter) with the suffix -le to emphasize repetitive, noisy speech. The word reflects the sound and rhythm of hurried, nonsensical talk, akin to birds' rapid calls or human gossip. Its evolution mirrors English's tendency to create expressive verbs through sound symbolism and suffixation.
