Did you know?
“Garble” developed from Late Latin “cribellare,” a verb meaning “to sift.” Arabic speakers borrowed “cribellare” as “gharbala,” and the Arabic word passed into Old Italian as “garbellare”; both of these words also meant “to sift.” When the word first entered Middle English as “garbelen,” its meaning stayed close to the original; it meant “to sort out the best.” But that sort of sifting can cause a distortion, and in early Modern English “garble” came to mean “to distort the meaning or sound of.” [info courtesy of Merriam-Webster]
Poem
garble
Candy fish scream
Hard light simple
Join less red
See something I
Mix hand thread
Certain soap pretty
Card frank need
I hear everything
Lick free stay
Ever found seem
Star sand static
Nothing say I
Sweet round this
