Say the word slowly and you have already heard it: gur-gle. Picture something liquid squeezing through a narrow space — a stream between stones, rain in a downpipe, the last of the bath water going down the drain. The sound it makes is low, soft and made of small bubbles, one after another. Every use of the word is that same noise, heard through a different wall: a pipe, a baby's throat, or an empty stomach. And because English lets the noise be a thing as well as an action, the word works both as a verb and as a noun.
From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary note derives gurgle by back formation from Middle English gurguling, 'a rumbling in the belly', and links it to German gurgeln and Latin gurgulio, 'throat'. Both of those point at the same narrow passage the modern picture is built on.
來源資料說這個字是從中古英文 gurguling（肚子裡的咕嚕聲）逆推出來的，還跟德文 gurgeln 以及拉丁文 gurgulio（喉嚨）有關。喉嚨和肚子都是窄窄的通道，正好就是這個字現在畫面的來源。所以「水管」「喉嚨」「肚子」這三種用法，其實一直都在同一條線上。
