Etymology of DRIVEL

The word "drivel" originated in Middle English as a verb "drivelen" in the 13th century, which meant "to slaver, to dribble". Its source can be traced back to the Old English word "dreflian" or "dreflian", meaning "to drool or slaver". This Old English term was influenced by the Proto-Germanic word "drablǫną", which had a similar meaning. Over time, "drivel" shifted from being a verb to a noun, referring to saliva or a liquid that is slavered or dribbled. In its figurative sense, "drivel" has come to mean "nonsensical or meaningless talk" and this extension of meaning emerged in the mid-16th century.
