 let output = document.getElementById('output'), interval = setInterval(() => { output.textContent += 'слово '; }, 1000); setTimeout(() => { clearInterval(interval); }, 5000); 
 <textarea id="output" style="width: 300px;"></textarea>


Or even easier:

 let interval, seconds = 0, output = document.getElementById('output'); interval = setInterval(() => { if (++seconds < 6) output.textContent += 'слово '; else clearInterval(interval); }, 1000); 
 <textarea id="output" style="width: 300px;"></textarea>
