"talk much," 1786,可能来自苏格兰和英格兰北部方言,源自更早的意思“说傻话; 说话不慎”(14世纪晚期),来自 gabben “嘲笑,嘲弄; 嘲讽(某人),责备(自己)”,也可以是来自斯堪的纳维亚语源,例如古诺尔斯语 gabba “嘲笑,取笑”,可能部分来自古法语 gaber “嘲笑,戏弄; 吹嘘,夸耀”,这也来自斯堪的纳维亚语。最终可能是模仿的(比较 gabble,可能影响了这个词的意思)。Gabber 是中古英语中的“说谎者,欺骗者; 嘲笑者”。相关: Gabbed; gabbing。
Verb of uncertain origin Note: Perhaps continuing a divergent sense of Middle English gabben "to speak mockingly, scoff, tell lies" (borrowed from Anglo-French gaber "to mock, sneer at," ultimately from Old Norse gabba) if occurrences in Chaucer, perhaps meaning "to speak foolishly, talk nonsense," are the same verb. However, the scarcity of attestation between Chaucer and the 18th century, when gab appears in Scots, suggests that Modern English gab is a new onomatopoeic formation, akin to gabble. Noun (1) derivative of gab >entry 1 Noun (2) by shortening
