What does GURGLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To flow or bubble with a broken, low bubbling sound, as water running from a narrow-necked bottle, or to make a similar sound in the throat.
The word imitates the sound itself: air trapped by liquid moving through a narrow opening breaks the flow into little pulses, each one heard as a soft glug. Streams over stones, water draining from a bottle, and a contented baby all gurgle in this sense, because the same broken, bubbling rhythm links all three. English also uses gurgle as a noun for the sound itself, a gurgle of water rather than the act of gurgling.
