@TodayIFoundOut1 Why the #Dodo did #GoTheWayOfTheDodo

Simon Whistler explains 'our perception of the extinct bird' in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)

The word “Dodo” is built on (Mr. Whistler presents a few possibilities in the video, but 'my reference' narrows it down to one) an ancient word that means Fool, Simpleton (compare |Booby).
