stammerer

/stˈæmɚɹɚ/ noun

One who stammers; a stutterer.

Word Origin Stammer comes from Proto-Germanic stamrōną, which imitates the halting sound of stuttering. The -er suffix makes it 'one who stammers.' The PIE root *(s)tem- suggests a cutting off or stopping, which fits the speech interruption. It's a word that sounds like what it means.
