Origin Early 16th century: from French gargouiller 'gurgle, bubble', from gargouille 'throat' (see gargoyle). The words gargle and gargoyle (Middle English) are closely related, linked by the idea of throats. Gargle comes from French gargouiller ‘to gurgle or bubble’, from gargouille ‘throat’. A gargoyle, a grotesque figure of a human or animal carved on a building, especially one that acts as a waterspout, with water passing through its throat and mouth came from the same source.
