ARGLE Meaning and Definition

  1. Argle is a verb that typically refers to engaging in a noisy, heated, or sometimes futile and petty argument or dispute. It denotes a verbal altercation or a verbal sparring session characterized by the exchange of contradictory or illogical arguments. The term is often used to describe a heated debate that involves an exchange of opposing viewpoints or strong opinions.

    Argle is commonly associated with disputes or arguments that lack substance, coherence, or logical reasoning. It implies a disagreement or conflict that may have minimal value or resolution, often escalating into a verbal clash without productive outcomes.

    The term "argle" carries connotations of intense debate, sometimes bordering on quarrelsomeness. It suggests a conversation or exchange that is filled with verbal fireworks, as parties involved engage in a contentious back-and-forth exchange of views. It may highlight the use of inflammatory language, exaggerated claims, or illogical arguments that add to the overall sense of tumult.

    While argle may sometimes describe a more lighthearted or playful argument, it is often used to denote a dispute that lacks substantive reasoning and can be tiring or unproductive for those involved. Consequently, it often carries a negative tone, indicating a sense of pointless bickering or dispute that leads to frustration and exhaustion rather than resolution.

Etymology of ARGLE

The word "argle" is thought to have originated from Old French "arguiler" or "argoler", meaning “to argue” or “to quarrel". It subsequently evolved into Middle English as "arguil", which still retained the same meaning. Over time, it transformed into "argle" as a variant spelling, but it likely retained its connection to the original notion of arguing or quarrelling.
