Etymology

The term 'weirdo' originated in the early 20th century, with its first known use traced back to the 1960s. It is derived from the word 'weird,' which comes from the Old English 'wyrd,' meaning fate or destiny. Over the years, 'weird' evolved to describe someone or something that deviates from the norm or is strange. The suffix '-o' is an informal addition that has often been used in English to create colloquial terms for people. Initially used in a playful context, 'weirdo' gradually became more prevalent in everyday language, and, while it can be used affectionately, it may also carry a derogatory implication when used to mock or ostracize individuals for their unconventional behavior.
