短释义:
Gaggle is a word known as a “term of venery,” a collective noun used to describe a particular group of animals. When a bunch of geese waddle around on the ground, that’s a gaggle of geese. If those same geese were flying overhead, you’d call them a flock or a skein instead. Gaggle is also useful for describing a disorderly or chaotic group of people: “I was surrounded by a gaggle of three-year-olds eager to pet my puppy.”

词源:
gaggle (n.)late 15c., gagyll, with reference to both geese and women (on the notion of “chattering company”). Barnhart says possibly from Old Norse gagl “small goose, gosling, wild goose;” OED calls it “one of the many artificial terms invented in the 15th c. as distinctive collectives referring to particular animals or classes of persons.” Possibly of imitative origin (compare Dutch gagelen “to chatter;” Middle English gaggle “to cackle,” used of geese, attested from late 14c.). The loosened general sense of “group of people” is from 1946.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
gaggle(n。)15c。,gagyll,涉及鹅和妇女(关于“ Chattering Company”的概念)。巴恩哈特(Barnhart)说,可能是从旧北欧gagl起来的,“小鹅,戈斯林,野鹅;” OED称其为“第15 c中发明的许多人工术语之一,是指特殊的集体,指的是特定动物或人类。”可能是模仿的起源(将荷兰的Gagelen与“ chat不休”;“中间英语gggle”和“使用的鹅”(从14c后期证明)。对“人群”的普遍意义放松了1946年。与之相关的条目等等
