Is this word related to tattle? 75.121.183.159 02:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Probably not: the initial consonant doesn't fit, and tattle seems to have originally had more of a connotation of chattering or babbling. Even in modern usage, it has more to do with telling others so they can do the blaming and censuring. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:11, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
