Morphology

gobby = gob (transparent) = gob + y

Standard adjectival formation from the slang noun 'gob' ('mouth') with the productive suffix '-y', yielding 'mouthy/talkative'.

Etymology

Gobby comes from the British slang gob, which means 'mouth', with the ending -y that makes an adjective. So, to be gobby is to be 'mouthy', loud and to talk too much, which is exactly the word's modern meaning.
