talkatively

/ˈtɔkətɪvli/ adv

In a talkative manner.

Word Origin From talk, which goes back to Proto-Germanic *talo meaning 'counting, recounting' — so talking originally meant recounting or telling. Talkative means inclined to talk a lot, and talkatively is the adverb. The same root gives us tell, tale, and foretell. The PIE root *del- meant 'to count,' so early speech was about recounting events.
