Definitions

Etymology: "Gibberers" is the plural of "gibberer," a formation from "gibber" plus the suffix "-er," which marks a person who performs an action. Gibber itself is the verb for talking rapidly in a rushed, unintelligible way, so a gibberer is simply someone who does that. The suffix does the same job it does in words like "baker" or "singer," turning an action into the person carrying it out. Because "gibber" is a verb built on the sound of unclear chatter, the whole word stays close to the sense of meaningless noise rather than to any specific language or profession.

Synonyms: babblers, chatterers, prattlers
