Etymology

**Etymology** – *Yack* is a recent slang noun in French that means “a long, tedious talk or chatter.” It was borrowed from English *yak*/*yack* (early 19th c.), a word of uncertain origin that is thought to be onomatopoeic or derived from an older French variant *yaque* meaning “talk, chatter.” The French spelling “yack” was adopted in the late 20th century to match the English form and has remained a colloquial, non‑standard term.
