Etymology

The word 'geek' originally emerged in the American English vernacular around the early 20th century, deriving from the term 'geck', which meant a fool or circus performer. Traditionally, geeks were seen as people with unusual interests, often portrayed in literature and media as socially inept individuals deeply engrossed in their hobbies. Over the decades, the definition of 'geek' expanded to include anyone with a strong passion for specific subjects, especially technology and pop culture. As society began to embrace tech culture in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, being a geek became more acceptable and even celebrated, leading to the emergence of the term 'geekiest' as a superlative form to emphasize an extreme level of that passion or enthusiasm. This shift reflected broader cultural changes where previously niche interests entered the mainstream, reshaping social perceptions around intelligence and expertise.
