from Battos (a proverbial stammerer) and G3056; to stutter, i.e. (by implication) to prate tediously:--use vain repetitions.
to stammer
to repeat the same things over and over, to use many idle words, to babble, prate. Some suppose the word derived from Battus, a king of Cyrene, who is said to have stuttered; others from Battus, an author of tedious and wordy poems.
