Origin

Old English dysig 'foolish', of West Germanic origin; related to Low German dusig, dösig 'giddy' and Old High German tusic 'foolish, weak'.

In Old English dizzy meant ‘foolish’. The medieval sense ‘having a whirling feeling in the head’ led to ‘scatterbrained’ and in late 19th-century USA to the dizzy blonde. In the 20th century the US novelist Dashiell Hammett defined the stereotype when he wrote of ‘A dizzy blonde that likes men and fun and hasn't got much sense’. The blonde who had been dizzy from the 1870s became dumb in the 1930s.
