The term 'ham' in ham (or amateur) radio comes from before radio was ever invented; it was used in wire telegraphy to denote an unskilled or inefficient telegraph operator.
The original meaning has been completely lost since the term's adoption by amateur radio operators, and no longer implies the operator is an idiot.
