Garrulity

/ɡəˈruːlɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or tendency of being excessively talkative or chatty, often without saying anything particularly important.

Etymology

From Latin 'garrulitas,' derived from 'garrulus' (chattering, talkative). The suffix '-ity' creates an abstract noun expressing the quality or state of being garrulous.

Kelly Says

Studies show that people with high garrulity often don't realize they're dominating conversations—the brain's language centers can run on autopilot, producing words faster than the social awareness centers can apply brakes.
