Origin
The word "slobber" is thought to have originated from the Old Norse word "slopra," which meant "to make a wet, sucking noise." This word is onomatopoeic, meaning that it imitates the sound of drooling or spilling liquid.
The Middle English word "slobberen" was first used in the 14th century and had a similar meaning to the Old Norse word. It was often used to describe the act of drooling or spilling liquid, as well as to refer to someone who was untidy or wet.
The word "slobber" has been in use in English for over 600 years and has retained its original meaning. It is a common word used to describe drooling, spilling liquid, or being untidily wet. It can also be used figuratively to refer to someone who is excessively sentimental or emotional.
