　From late 15c. in a general sense of "sort out the finer parts" of anything, "removal of what is objectionable（好ましくない）," then "distort for some devious（不正な、誤った）purpose or to give false impression;" especially "mix up, confuse or distort language" (1680s). Related: Garbled; garbling. In Middle English garbeler (Anglo-French garbelour) meant "official who garbles spices and sometimes also other dry goods" (early 15c.); it is attested（使用が実証されている）from 1690s as "one who mixes up or mutilates words or language."
