brabblev.

/ˈbrab(ə)l/

Forms: Also 1500s brabbel, brabil, brabel, 1500s–1700s brable.

Etymology: Derivation obscure: usually identified with Dutch brabbelen to confuse, stammer, jabber (compare brabbling n. 3), but it is doubtful whether the history of the senses in English supports this. Compare brawl v.¹, babble v.¹Skinner conjectured a corruption of medieval Latin parabolare , to harangue, discourse (? a forensic or university term), compare Welsh parablu to speak. Du Cange has ‘tota die parabolare per scripturas,’ which agrees with sense 1. With ‘womanish brabble’ compare the proverb ‘ubi mulieres ibi parabolæ.’

Obsolete or archaic exc. dialect.

1. intransitive. To dispute captiously or obstinately; to cavil or quibble. Const. with, against a person; about, on, at, for a thing.
