Verbose describes a person, speech, or piece of writing that uses many words, usually more words than necessary. If you talk too much, you can be described as verbose, and so can your history paper if you didn't do the research and are just tried to take up space with words.
Near synonyms are wordy and prolix. Verbose is from Latin verbosus "full of words," from verbum "word, verb." As you can guess from the spelling, English verb was borrowed from Latin verbum. And English word happens to be related to Latin verbum, though it dates back to Old English and was not borrowed from Latin.
