Etymology of GIBBER
The word "gibber" has a complex etymology, deriving from various sources and semantic shifts over time.
One line of its etymology dates back to the Late Middle English period, where "gibber" or "gibberish" referred to the language of Gypsies (Romani people) who were often associated with incomprehensible speech and deception. This sense came from "gib" or "gibber" meaning a Gypsy or beggar, ultimately derived from the obsolete word "gibbe" meaning a sidekick or companion.
However, the sense of unintelligible or rapid speech can be traced back even further. It is believed to have originated from imitative or onomatopoeic origins, where the word was meant to mimic the sound of incoherent speech or chattering.
