nerdn.

Brit.

/nəːd/, U.S.

/nərd/

Forms: 1900s– gnurd, 1900s– nard, 1900s– nerd, 1900s– nurd.

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain and disputed (see below).Perhaps < nerd, a fictional animal in the children's story If I ran the Zoo (1950) by ‘Dr. Seuss’, depicted as a small, unkempt, humanoid creature with a large head and a comically disapproving expression. Alternatively, sometimes explained as a euphemistic alteration of turd n. (see e.g. D. L. Gold in Comments on Etymol. (1983) 12 27), although given the predominance of early spellings in -e- , this seems unlikely. The suggestion that the word is back-slang for drunk n.² is also unsupported by the spellings, as is derivation from the name of Mortimer Snerd, a dummy used by the U.S. ventriloquist Edgar Bergen in the 1930s (see e.g. J. E. Lighter Hist. Dict. Amer. Slang (1997) at Nerd).

slang (originally U.S.). Mildly derogatory.

An insignificant, foolish, or socially inept person; a person who is boringly conventional or studious. Now also: spec. a person who pursues an unfashionable or highly technical interest with obsessive or exclusive dedication.
