Bechatter

/bɪˈtʃætər/ verb

Definition

To chatter persistently or excessively at; to pester with talk (rare or archaic).

Etymology

From the prefix 'be-' combined with 'chatter' (from imitative Old English origins); the 'be-' prefix adds a sense of persistent or intensive action.

Kelly Says

A word that captures that specific annoyance of someone who won't stop talking at you—'bechattered' is more memorable than 'talked at persistently,' which is why we should bring it back.
