A rare or dialectal word meaning to buzz repeatedly, to move in a buzzing manner, or to confuse with buzzing sounds.
Derived from 'buzz' with the diminutive or frequentative suffix '-le' (as in 'giggle,' 'tickle,' 'puzzle'), which typically indicates repeated or continuous action. The '-le' suffix comes from Old English and is common in words describing iterative actions.
Words ending in '-le' often describe repetitive or scattered actions—'giggle,' 'fidget,' 'tussle'—they have a kind of bouncy, agitated quality that matches their meanings. 'Buzzle' perfectly captures that scattered, persistent buzzing activity.
