Why is Imbacillis weak not dim?
Imbécillis. They're not germy or diseased
(well they might be but that's not the only way to be weak)
Romans were not great at English I guess
Lol
I guess the etymology of the English word imbecile comes from a Latin word meaning physically weak.
Exactly. It came to mean "mentally weak."
