    [Noun]  | "im*be*cile" | \ ˈim-bə-səl \


    1: a foolish or stupid person

    2: a person affected with moderate intellectual disability


    Origin: 1781 ;

     Derivative of {see: |imbecile:2|imbecile:2};

    [Adjective]  | "imbecile" 


    1: weak, feeble


    Origin: circa 1550 ;

     Borrowed from Middle French and Latin; Middle French imbecile, imbecille, borrowed from Latin imbēcillus "physically weak, feeble, fragile (of materials), deficient in power, lacking intellectual or moral strength," of obscure origin;

      * Note : In the Leiden scholia on Juvenal the word imbēcillis is explained as "quasi sine baculo" ("as if without a staff"), taking the word as formed from the negative prefix in- (see: {in-:1|in-:1}) and bacillum, a diminutive of baculum "staff." But there are both formal and semantic problems with such an etymology: Lucretius and Horace have the as a long vowel; and for a word meaning "frail" a compound meaning "with a staff" would be more likely than "without a staff.";
