Etymology

The word 'stammer' originates from the Middle English 'stommer', which is related to the Old English 'stamian', meaning to make a noise or stammer. It is believed to have Proto-Germanic roots in the term '*stamลnฤ…', meaning to move unsteadily. Over the years, the term evolved to describe the speech disorder characterized by disruptions in the flow of speech. In the 18th century, the term became more specifically associated with stuttering, a speech impediment. The diagnosis and understanding of stammering have developed significantly, incorporating various therapies to help individuals manage or overcome their speech difficulties.
