Etacist

/ˈɛtəsɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who practices or exhibits etacism; someone with a speech defect involving the Greek letter eta.

Etymology

From 'etacism' with the suffix '-ist' meaning 'one who practices or exhibits.' This creates a noun for a person characterized by the condition.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ist' transforms abstract conditions into people—an 'etacist' is to speech what a 'cyclist' is to bikes, showing how flexibly English labels both things we do and quirks we have!
