What does BABBLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To talk quickly and without much sense, or to make a soft bubbling sound.
The word imitates the sound it names, and it first described the broken speech of small children before it spread to adults who chatter nervously. It also fits flowing water, since a brook is said to babble over stones. In both uses the idea is a continuous murmur without clear meaning.
