Etymology

Conjugated form of the verb 'fribble,' following standard English verb conjugation patterns where '-s' is added for third person singular present tense.

Kelly Says

English verb conjugation is remarkably simple compared to many European languages—'he fribbles' just adds an '-s' to show who's doing the action and when. But this simplicity is relatively recent; Old English had far more complicated verb forms that have gradually worn away over centuries.
