A person who echoes or imitates others' words, sounds, or ideas; someone prone to repetition or parroting.
From 'echo' + '-ist' (a person who practices or is characterized by something). This term emerged in psychological literature to describe individuals with echo-like speech patterns.
In psychology, some autistic individuals and those with Tourette's syndrome are involuntary echoists—they echo what others say not to mock but because their brains process language through immediate repetition.
