An idiot is a term used for someone who does not have the mental capicity over the age of a 3 year old. it is termed as a foolish or stupid person. See the related link for more information.

A derogatory classification applied historically (as with "moron") to mentally deficient individuals.

Originally, the Greek root applied to those with no skill or training, until its adoption by French and Old English as "simpleton" or fool.

The definition of an idiot is either an insult that is used meaning someone is stupid or it is an old no longer used label for someone who has an IQ of 25 or lower and is mentally around 3 years old.
