Etymology
The word geeky comes from geek, which long ago named a circus performer who did strange acts and so meant 'odd' or 'foolish'. Over time people used it for someone who is very into technical or special subjects, so geeky now describes someone who is very interested in those topics and may seem socially awkward.
