Etymology
Nerdy comes from the short American slang nerd, a playful name that appeared in the 1950s and one popular story says it came from a Dr. Seuss book. Nerdy describes someone who loves studying, science, or special hobbies and may seem 'unfashionable' or 'socially awkward', so the origin helps you remember it means being very into facts or interests.
