An archaic or obsolete verb meaning to gargle, bubble, or make a gurgling sound in the throat.
Derived from medieval or early modern English, combining 'garg' or similar root meaning 'throat' with the '-alize' verb-forming suffix.
Before we had the common word 'gargle,' people used 'gargalize'—language is constantly shedding old words and adopting new ones, and most people never notice the switch!
