A talkative person; someone who chatters or gossips excessively.
From French babiller (to prattle or chatter) plus -ard (a suffix meaning someone characterized by a quality). French origin reflects European tradition of naming personality types.
The French language created 'babillard' to describe chronic talkers, and English borrowed the word—showing how every language needs vocabulary for people who talk too much, suggesting chattiness is a universal human trait.
