**Imbecile** originates from the Latin word "imbecillus," meaning "weak" or "without strength." It was initially used to describe physical weakness but later extended to mental weakness. The term gained prominence in the 19th century as a medical classification for individuals with intellectual disabilities, but its usage has since become highly offensive due to its stigmatizing connotations.
