The noun is derived from the verb. Pronunciation: /ˈɡʌtl̩/, /ˈɡʌt(ə)l/, [-ɾ(ə)l] 1. An act of swallowing voraciously. Labels: UK, archaic, dialectal Example: The top of the great stained glass windows at each end of the hall, are cut off to accommodate a new flat plaster roof;—the old Gothic one, with its rich groining and carved work, could not be renewed but at the expense of at least two guttles!

Word: vagues Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of vague Labels: form-of, plural
Word: vagues Part of Speech: verb 1. third-person singular simple present indicative of vague Labels: form-of, indicative, present, singular, third-person
Word: vaguen Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From vague + -en (suffix forming transitive verbs from adjectives, meaning ‘to make [adjective]’), coined by Irish writer Samuel Beckett (1906–1989), apparently first in a manuscript note to himself on an initial typescript of his play Happy Days (1961). Pronunciation: /ˈveɪɡən/ 1. To make (something) vague or more vague; to blur, to obscure. Labels: informal, transitive Example: [Rosemary] Pountney sees the term ‘vaguen’ in the play’s second typescript as ‘explicit testimony to [Samuel] Beckett’s policy of “vaguening” the later drafts of his plays’ (1988: 149). Example: Mud causes most critics to invoke Beckett, and like that master Fornes [i.e., María Irene Fornés] "vaguens" the setting of her elemental characters. 2. To become (more) vague; to blur. Labels: informal, intransitive Example: As both artists [Samuel Beckett and Joseph Mallord William Turner] developed, their imagery vaguened. The result is imagery hazened, a studied, a crafted indistinction. Beckett thus situates himself (and his art) in the midst of such a late-modernist or early postmodernist ethos, exploring the issues of perspective and so consciousness, of perception much celebrated but doomed to distortion and incompletion, for the remainder of his career. Example: In an example of the kind of wavering syntax that characterizes all the ill-said language to follow, vagueness penetrates the finest grain of Beckett's language here [in Ill Seen Ill Said (1982)]. […] "Say one furlong. On an average" blends the meanings of "say" as "let us suppose"—a tentative hypothesis—and "say" as "approximately"—a gesture of rough measurement that is promptly vaguened to "an average".
