Its origin lies with the Greeks. Someone not interested in the politics and business of the day was called an 'idios', meaning private. From which we get 'idiot'.

The term "idiot" has been used since ancient times to refer to someone lacking intelligence. It has no specific origin or attributed creator as it evolved over time in various languages and cultures to describe an individual with limited mental capacity.
