In our series, “Word Up: Live!” this morning, we looked at two English words. Here they are:
Loquacious: talkative; garrulous; apt to blab and disclose secrets.
Loquacious comes from the Latin verb loquor, meaning “I speak”.
Here are a few example sentences:
“He lacked close friends as he was loquacious, brawling, and ever in the wrong.”
A student in class came up with the following:
“The loquacious man was unable to keep his friend’s secret.”
=================================================
The next word, which means almost the same thing is multiloquent.
Multiloquent: Excessive talkativeness; loquaciousness; prolixity.
Multiloquent comes from two Latin words. Multus means, much or many. The Latin verb loquor, means “I speak”. Together they create the word multiloquent.
Here are a few example sentences:
“During the concert, the multiloquent singer bored us by talking excessively between each song.”
“Tripped up by his own multiloquence, the speaker stammered during his speech.”
