dumbhead

/dˈʌmhɛd/ noun B1

a stupid person

Word Origin A compound of dumb (originally meaning 'mute' in Proto-Germanic) and head — so a dumbhead is literally a 'mute head,' someone whose head isn't speaking sense. Dumb originally meant unable to speak, then shifted to 'stupid.' Related words: dumbfound (strike dumb with astonishment), dumbbell (a silent bell, no clapper), and behead (remove the head).
