Definition
Past tense of burble; spoke in a rapid, incoherent, or stuttering manner, or produced a bubbling or gurgling sound.
Etymology
From the verb 'burble', likely of imitative origin (similar to 'bubble' and 'gurgle'), first recorded in English in the 19th century with both auditory and linguistic connotations.
Kelly Says
Burble entered English literature through authors like Tolkien (in 'Jabberwocky,' influenced by 'burble' and similar sound-words) to capture the feeling of confused, rapid speech—the word itself sounds like what it describes.
