Etymology
The word 'dimwit' originated in the early 20th century, as a combination of 'dim' (meaning stupid or dull) and 'wit' (referring to intelligence or mental capacity). It has been used as an informal insult to describe someone of low intelligence or mental acuity. Over time, the term has evolved to be more commonly associated with light-hearted teasing rather than serious criticism.
