Fun Fact
“Galaxy” refers to vast systems of stars, planets, and cosmic matter, often associated with the grandeur of the cosmos, while “Landscape” signifies the visible features of an area, often linked to scenic beauty. “Galaxyscape” creatively combines these concepts to celebrate a scene or view that intricately incorporates the awe-inspiring elements of the galaxy.
(adjective) Speaking easily, rapidly, and at great length, especially with enthusiasm.
At the dinner party, he became increasingly voluble as the conversation turned to politics.
Voluble comes from the Latin volubilis, meaning “rolling” or “turning easily,” from volvere (“to roll”). The word originally described physical motion, but over time it shifted metaphorically to describe speech that flows freely and continuously, as if words are rolling out without resistance.
