"Dumb" is an English word that dates back to Old English (around the 9th–10th century), originally meaning "mute" or unable to speak. Over time, especially from the 16th century onward, it developed a figurative meaning referring to someone lacking intelligence or the ability to think clearly. The term is used in informal, educational, or critical contexts to describe poor judgment or mental slowness. It is mildly derogatory but not vulgar, and its offensiveness depends on tone and context, sometimes used teasingly rather than harshly.
