Is repeating full words a form of stuttering?

Is repeating full words a form of stuttering? I am an adult, early 40s. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been getting stuck on a word when trying to talk. Such as “The goal goal goal goal [pause]… the goal is to”. In the past, I’ve had times where I had a pregnant pause trying to say a word. This is the first time I’ve kind of get stuck on a word though. It hasn’t happened much, but the times it has had been a bit trippy. Is this a form of stuttering?
