What is imbecile meaning?

Imbecile is a term used to describe someone who has very low intelligence or someone who is extremely foolish and lacking common sense. It is now considered an offensive and outdated term, and is no longer used in official contexts. The term has its origins in the Latin word "imbecillus," meaning weak or feeble-minded. In the past, it was used as a medical diagnosis for individuals with an IQ below 70. Today, the term is considered insensitive and derogatory, and the appropriate term for individuals with intellectual disabilities is "intellectually disabled" or "developmentally disabled."
