Chattery is an adjective that describes something or someone that is characterized by constant or excessive talking or conversation. It refers to the tendency of being talkative, chatty, or prone to speaking at length and frequently.
If an individual is described as chattery, it means they engage in conversations often, sometimes without regard for their surroundings or the appropriate timing. They may display a desire to share their thoughts, opinions, or experiences with others, often using up a considerable amount of verbal energy. Such individuals may find it challenging to remain silent or engage in periods of quiet introspection.
The term can also be applied to an environment or setting that is filled with noise or constant conversation. For instance, a chattery workplace is one where employees engage in frequent discussions, often resulting in a high noise level. Similarly, a chattery gathering or event is marked by a continuous flow of conversation and people talking over one another.
Overall, chattery indicates an atmosphere or person characterized by an abundance of talking and communication. While it can be seen as positive in some contexts, such as fostering social interaction or maintaining an engaged environment, chattery behavior or surroundings can also become overwhelming or distracting, depending on the situation.
The word "chattery" is formed by adding the suffix "-y" to the noun "chatter".
The noun "chatter" dates back to the Middle English period and comes from the Old English word "ceaftre", meaning "chattering" or "chattering noise". It originally referred to inarticulate sounds made by people, birds, or machinery. Over time, the meaning evolved to describe idle or frivolous talk.
The suffix "-y" is a common English suffix added to nouns to form adjectives. In this case, "chattery" is formed by adding "-y" to "chatter", resulting in an adjective that describes something full of chatter or characterized by excessive or trivial talk.
