glob (n.)

"drop, globule," 1725, from a verb meaning "to make or mark with blobs" (early 15c.), which is perhaps related to bubble. The same noun was used 16c. in senses of "a bubble, a blister." Related: Blobby.

"a mouthful, lump," late 14c., from gobbet.

"inferior food," 1943, imitative of the sound of something unappetizingly viscous hitting a dinner plate.
