Where this word comes from

From Middle Dutch praten, further etymology unknown, but probably related to Proto-Germanic *prattuz (“boastful talk”). Cognates are found only in German Low German proten (East Frisian). English prate, prattle and the various Scandinavian verbs were borrowed from these two languages.
