Excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters; chattering or babbling at length about unimportant topics. Describes someone who talks too much without much substance.
From Latin 'garrulus' meaning 'talkative, chattering,' derived from 'garrire' (to chatter, babble). The root imitates the sound of continuous, meaningless chatter, similar to how birds chirp incessantly.
