Etymology
Meaning
Gullible means "easily deceived or tricked."
Origin
The word "gullible" comes from the Latin word "gula," which originally meant "throat" or "gullet." In medieval times, the throat was seen as a symbol of credulity, as people were thought to be able to swallow anything they were told. This association between the throat and gullibility led to the development of the word "gullible" to describe someone who is easily deceived.
