Origin:
The word "talkative" originated from the Latin word "tālcāx," which referred to a tool used for pounding wool. In Old French, the verb "talquer" developed the additional meaning of "to chatter or speak rapidly." This sense was adopted into Middle English as "talken" and eventually evolved into the modern adjective "talkative."
The connection between wool-pounding and talkativeness is thought to have arisen from the observation that people often engaged in conversation while doing this repetitive task. The rhythmic pounding of the wool beater may have encouraged a flow of words, leading to the association of wool-pounding with excessive talking.
