Origin of the word gurgle

The word "gurgle" originated from the Old Norse word "gurgla" which meant "to bubble or make a gurgling noise." It is believed to have been borrowed into Middle English around the 13th century during the Viking Age when Norse culture had a significant influence on English vocabulary. The Old Norse word itself is thought to have evolved from the Proto-Germanic root "gurg-," which referred to the sound made by bubbling liquids. Over time, the meaning of the word has remained relatively consistent, with "gurgle" now used to describe the noise made by flowing water or liquids as they move through narrow passages.
