stutterverb

nói lắp

/ˈstʌtə(r)//ˈstʌtər/

The word "stutter" has its roots in Old English and Germanic languages. The earliest recorded use of the word "stutter" dates back to around 1300 AD, when it was written as "stutten" or "stutteren" in Middle English and Middle High German, respectively. The word is derived from the Old English verb "stutian" or "stutian" meaning "to stumble" or "to falter", which is related to the Old Norse word "stóta" meaning "to stumble" or "to trip". Over time, the spelling and meaning of the word evolved to specifically refer to the speech disorder characterized by involuntary repetitions or prolongations of sounds. The word "stutter" has been used interchangeably with "stammer" since the 15th century, and both words are now widely accepted in English usage to describe individuals who experience this speech disorder.
