Etymology

The word "garrulous" stems from the Latin root garrulus (meaning "chattering" or "talkative"), derived from garrire ("to chatter"). The suffix -ous (from Latin -osus) turns it into an adjective, emphasizing a tendency or quality. The word vividly captures the image of someone who talks incessantly, much like the sound of rapid, meaningless chatter.

Examples
  1. The garrulous old man dominated the conversation with stories of his youth.

  2. She became garrulous after drinking too much coffee.

  3. His garrulous nature made it hard to focus on the meeting agenda.

  4. The parrot was surprisingly garrulous, mimicking every sound it heard.

  5. Avoid sitting next to garrulous colleagues during long flights.
