Etymology
The word 'weird' has Old English origins, with roots in the Old Norse word 'verรฐr', meaning 'fated' or 'destined'. Over time, it evolved to mean 'supernatural' or 'uncanny', reflecting a sense of something beyond the normal or expected. The modern usage of 'weird' as something strange or odd developed in Middle English, influenced by both its original meaning and by the changing perceptions of the world. Today, 'weird' is a versatile adjective used to describe anything that is unusual, peculiar, or strikingly different.
