Word origin
The word 'moron' originated in the early 20th century from the Greek word 'moros', meaning foolish. It was used in psychology to categorize individuals with a certain level of intellectual disability. Over time, the term has evolved into a common insult to refer to someone who is perceived as stupid or foolish.
