Did you know?
     When you hear or say "loquacious," you might notice that 
the word has a certain poetic ring. In fact, poets quickly 
snatched up "loquacious" soon after its debut in 1663 and, with 
poetic license, stretched its meaning to include such things as 
the chattering of birds and the babbling of brooks. In less 
poetic uses, "loquacious" usually means "excessively talkative." 
The ultimate source of all this chattiness is "loqui," a Latin 
verb meaning "to speak." Other words descended from "loqui" 
include "colloquial," "eloquent," "soliloquy," 
and "ventriloquism."
