15世纪中叶,“blabben”,意为“闲聊、说得太多”,似乎源自中古英语名词“blabbe”,指“不能控制自己的舌头的人” (13世纪后期),这可能是拟声的 (比较古诺尔斯语“blabbra”,丹麦语“blabbre”和德语“plappern”,均意为“胡言乱语”)。大约在1600年,其含义转为“说话不慎重”。相关词汇: Blabbed, blabbing。
名词和动词 blab 和 blabber 之间的确切关系很难确定。名词在“16和17世纪非常普遍; c 1750以来在文学作品中不常见” [OED]。中古英语还有动词“lab” (意为“愚蠢地说话,泄露秘密”,14世纪后期),据说源于低地德语; 因此也有“labster” (中古英语“labestere”,13世纪后期),意为“女性八卦,吵闹”。
