'amphigouris' originates from French, specifically the word 'amphigouri', where 'amphi-' meant 'both' and 'gouris' meant 'circle'.

'amphigouri' transformed into the English word 'amphigouris' and retained its meaning of nonsensical writing or speech.

Initially, it meant 'a circular or convoluted argument', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'nonsensical writing or speech'.
