A door blows open in your mind when you learn about the suffix -le, it explains so much. People used to add it to verbs to mean ‘more than once’ or continuously—so originally, to ramble is to ‘roam’ on, to jostle is to joust repeatedly, and to sparkle is to emit lots of sparks.

Wiktionary: -le — A frequentative suffix of verbs, indicating repetition or continuousness. E.g. crack to crackle or daze to dazzle.
