battalogeo

βατταλογήσητε [1 verse](verb 2nd pl aor subj act)"Use vain repetitions" is battalogeo, which means "to speak stammeringly", "to say the same thing over and over again," and "to prattle." -- The Greek word that gets translated as "use vain repetitions" means "to stammer" or "to repeat the same words over and over." is an inherently humorous word about words. It ends with "logeo," which is usually translated in the KJV as "word." It is made from the name of either a famous stammer, Battos, the king of Cyrene, or a wordy and boring poet, Battus. It means "saying the same thing over and over."
