Word origin

From Middle English vocable, from Middle French vocable and its etymon, Latin vocābulum, from vocō (“to call”).

Used in a sentence

  • Without words and almost with the seriousness of asylum nurses they at once set upon an unsavoury-looking matron who began to cry out Mediterranean vocables of distress.
  • At first the man puzzled; then he smiled. He pronounced a string of uncouth vocables.
  • Many Native American songs employ vocables, syllables that do not have referential meaning. These may be used to frame words or may be inserted among them; in some cases, they constitute the entire song text.
