Etymology: "Jabberings" is simply the plural of "jabbering," the noun formed from the verb "jabber." Jabber is an imitative word, built to sound like rapid, indistinct talk, and its noun form uses the -ing ending that turns a verb into a name for the activity itself. The plural form counts separate episodes of that unintelligible chatter, so a single conversation full of it becomes "jabberings" in the plural.

Synonyms: chatter, babble, prattle, blabber, gibberish

Antonyms: silence, quiet, calm, stillness, peace
