Etymology

Cognate with Middle English: globben

Cognate with English: gulpen

Cognate with French: gober

In summary

From Middle English gobben (“to drink or swallow greedily”), of uncertain origin + -le (frequentative suffix). Middle English gobben is perhaps an alteration of Middle English globben (“to gulp down”), related to English gulpen (“to gulp”). However, compare also French gober.
