Etymology: "Blabbers" is the third-person singular present form of "blabber," meaning to talk too freely or let out secrets. The verb it comes from is inherited from Middle English "blaberen," which carries the same sense of chattering without restraint. Its root is the rapid, babbling sound of idle talk, and "blabber" is a close relative of "babble" in that imitative way: the word sounds like the noise it describes.

Synonyms: chatter, gab, prattle, talk, babble

Antonyms: be quiet, silence, muffle, hush
