From Oxford Languages (what Google uses):

late 19th century: coined in German from dys- ‘difficult’ + Greek lexis ‘speech’ (apparently by confusion of Greek legein ‘to speak’ and Latin legere ‘to read’).

Good to know, in general, but the irony of this term is still funny to me.

all those kinds of imparements are puns. like haveing a lisp. or to stutter. all speech and reading imparements are words that are hard to pronounce or read by the people affected. no idea why. just saying its the rule and no exception.
