Etymology: A gaggler is simply one who gaggles, and the word is built from "gaggle" plus the agent suffix "-er," the same ending found in "baker" or "singer." The base "gaggle" is the older and more striking word here: it names a flock of geese, especially when they are on the ground or cackling together, and it is the source of a familiar extension to any noisy, disorderly group of people. The suffix does most of the work in forming this term. Attaching "-er" to a noun or verb produces a person or thing that does the associated action, so the sense follows naturally from the base: a "gaggler" is one who gathers in a loud, chattering crowd, much as the geese do. Because the formation is transparent, the word needs little explanation once its base is understood.
