Source : Merriam -Webster

Etymology : Voluble traces back to Latin volvere, meaning “to set in a circular course” or “to cause to roll.” English rolled with that meaning, using voluble as an adjective to describe things easily rolling, changing, or turning, and later added the meaning of Latin volibilis, which implies readily flowing speech. Today, voluble most often describes an individual who speaks easily and often.
