Origin:
1880–85; echo  + -lalia

psychiatry  the tendency to repeat mechanically words just spoken by another person: can occur in cases of brain damage, mental retardation, and schizophrenia

[C19: from New Latin, from echo  + Greek lalia  talk, chatter, from lalein  to chatter]

Or in other words when you say something to someone and they repeat it back to you as if it was an original thought or idea…yeah, that.
