stutteringly

/ˈstətɝɪŋli/ adv

In a stuttering manner.

Word Origin Stutter comes from Proto-Germanic stut- 'to push, hit' — the idea of speech that gets stuck, like hitting a bump. The -er makes it a verb, and stuttering is the present participle. Stutteringly is the adverb: doing something with a stutter. The PIE root *steud- also gives us study? Actually, study is from Latin studere 'to be diligent,' possibly related to pushing. But here, the focus is on the repetitive, halting motion. You can almost hear the st-st-stutter in the word itself.
