stultiloquence

/stʌlˈtɪləʊkwɛns/ noun C1

foolish talk

Word Origin From Latin 'stultus' (foolish) and 'loqui' (to speak) — literally 'foolish speech'. The -ence suffix makes it a noun. So stultiloquence is the act of talking foolishly. The same roots give us stultify (to make foolish), eloquent (speaking out), soliloquy (speaking alone), and loquacious. A word for babbling nonsense.
