There was a series of old European words, such as Old English, Old Dutch, Germanic, Norse, Gothic which derive from the Latin 'Solari' which all relate to Happiness, kind hearted, blessed, happy, blissful. The word started to change meanings over the centuries, moving from 'blessed' to pious and innocent' and to harmless and pitiable. Later the word referred to those who were feeble in mind and later, stunned, as in dazed by a blow. The silly season was adopted by journalism to compensate for a lack of news during the summer season of August and September in the 1860's
