‘Stupidity is a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, or wit, an inability to learn. It may be innate, assumed or reactive. The word stupid comes from the Latin word stupere. Stupid characters are often used for comedy in fictional stories.
The root word stupid,1 which can serve as an adjective or noun, comes from the Latin verb stupere, for being numb or astonished, and is related to stupor.2 In Roman culture, the stupidus was the professional fall guy in the theatrical mimes.3‘
