Idiot

Dalam penggunaan modern, idiot atau bego adalah istilah merendahkan yang merujuk pada pikiran atau perilaku seseorang yang dianggap bodoh atau tolol.[1]

Pada dunia medis dan psikologi abad ke-19 dan awal abad ke-20, 'idiot' adalah orang yang memiliki IQ ≤20; tapi saat ini, 'idiot' tidak lagi digunakan untuk hal tersebut.

Etimologi

Idiot berasal dari kata bahasa Yunani ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs ("orang yang kekurangan kemampuan profesional", "individual"), dari ἴδιος, idios ("pribadi").[2] Dalam bahasa Latin, kata idiota berarti "orang tak berpendidikan."[3]
