Picture easy, talk with no agenda — two people chatting over tea, one thing leading to another. Chatty is that relaxed talking mood, whether it comes out of a mouth or off a page.
From the word’s history
From chat + -y. Chat is a clipping of Middle English chateren 'to chatter', an imitative word — it copies the sound of quick, light talk.
chatty 是 chat 加上形容詞字尾 -y。chat 又是從中古英語 chateren（喋喋不休）截短來的，而 chateren 本身是擬聲字，模仿的就是那種又快又輕的說話聲。所以這個字從根上就不帶「講重要的事」的味道，它記錄的是聲音的質地：輕、快、連續、不費力。
