Definitions and meaning of daft

daft

Etymology

From Middle English dafte, defte (gentle; having good manners; humble, modest; awkward; dull; boorish), from Old English dæfte (accommodating; gentle, meek, mild), from Proto-West Germanic *daftī (fitting, suitable), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₂ebʰ- (fitting; to fit together). Related to Old English dafnian, dafenian (to be fitting, appropriate, or becoming), Russian до́брый (dóbryj, good).

Compare silly which originally meant “blessed; good, innocent; pitiful; weak”, but now means “laughable or amusing through foolishness or a foolish appearance; mentally simple, foolish”.

Unrelated to, though perhaps influenced by, daff (fool (n.); to be foolish (v.)) (past form daffed).
