GARGLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Gargled is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "gargle." Gargle refers to the action of rinsing or cleaning the throat or mouth by vigorously swishing liquid, typically an antiseptic solution or warm saltwater, around the back of the mouth and throat, then expelling it. This action is often accompanied by making a bubbling or gurgling sound.
When someone gargles, they take a small amount of the liquid into their mouth, tilt their head back, and agitate the liquid by expelling air from their lungs. The liquid is then moved around the mouth and throat by the contraction of muscles, effectively reaching places that swallowing alone might not reach. This process serves various purposes, such as maintaining oral hygiene, alleviating symptoms of a sore throat or inflammation, or aiding in the recovery from certain illnesses.
Gargling is considered a common method to cleanse and soothe the throat, as the liquid used often possesses antiseptic or medicinal properties. While water alone can be gargled, additional ingredients like salt, vinegar, or mouthwash are commonly added to enhance its effectiveness. The act of gargling helps to loosen mucus, reduce inflammation, and eliminate unwanted substances clinging to the surface of the throat or mouth.

Etymology of GARGLED
The term "gargled" is derived from the verb "gargle". The word "gargle" comes from the Middle French word "gargouiller", which means "to gurgle" or "to bubble". This French word evolved from the Late Latin word "gargula", which refers to the gullet or throat. Ultimately, it can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*gher-", meaning "to swallow or gulp". So, over time, the word "gargle" and its past participle form "gargled" came to be associated with the act of rinsing one's throat or mouth with a liquid, creating a bubbling or gurgling sound.
