Moron, Idiot, and Imbecile were coined as precise medical terms by Dr Henry H Goddard in the 1900-10s. Retard(ed) was devised as a euphemism to replace them in the 1960s. Once an unfashionable euphemism falls out of use, people gradually cease to recognise the offensive meaning which made it unfashionable. |
