Etymology
The word 'goofy' originated in the early 20th century, likely as a variation of the word 'goof,' which itself was used in American English to describe a foolish or silly person. 'Goof' may have derived from the older term 'goof off,' meaning to waste time or act in a silly manner. Its popularity was further solidified by the Disney character Goofy, who debuted in the 1930s as a clumsy and lovable dog. The character epitomizes the traits associated with goofiness, including lighthearted fun and comic mishaps. As the term evolved, it began to enter colloquial usage as an adjective denoting silliness or a lack of seriousness. Comparatively, 'goofier' emerged as a way to express an increased degree of these characteristics, reflecting social attitudes toward humor and playfulness.
