Not the Sharpest Tool Word of the Day: “Dolt”
It’s hard to think of a kind way to use dolt, a noun of ancient pedigree that means “stupid person.” Its origins are not entirely clear, but with your word-sleuthing hat on, you might come to the same conclusion as many noted etymologists, who say that dolt is related to dull, and looks a lot like a defunct participle of the verb dull, along the lines of other L-terminal verb derivatives like dealt, spilt, spelt, etc.
