Etymology

Taken from Latin verbōsus ("prolix, wordy, verbose"), itself built from verbum ("word") (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *werh₁-, "to say, speak") plus -ōsus (a suffix meaning 'full of, overly, prone to', forming adjectives from nouns). By surface analysis it is equivalent to verb + -ose.
