scribble (SKRIB-uhl) - v., to write or draw hastily or carelessly; to fill or cover with meaningless writing or marks.


Plus a noun for the result of scribbling. This is another frequentive with a sound shift, being scribe + frequentive ending -le. Whether this ending was added in Middle English or earlier in Medieval Latin scrībillāre is disputed by dictionaries.
