Word origin
The word 'weakling' originated in the late 16th century, combining 'weak' with the suffix '-ling' to denote a person who is weak in a derogatory manner. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass both physical weakness and mental susceptibility to manipulation. It is often used in a negative or demeaning context to criticize someone's lack of strength or resilience.
