From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
nerd
n 1: an insignificant student who is ridiculed as being affected
or boringly studious [syn: {swot}, {grind}, {nerd}, {wonk},
{dweeb}]
2: an intelligent but single-minded expert in a particular
technical field or profession
From Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003) [jargon]:
nerd
n.
1. [mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone with an
above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social
rituals.
2. [jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious ironic reference to
sense 1) to someone who knows what's really important and interesting
and doesn't care to be distracted by trivial chatter and silly status
games. Compare {geek}.
The word itself appears to derive from the lines "And then, just to
show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo / And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep
and a Proo, / A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!" in the Dr.
Seuss book If I Ran the Zoo (1950). (The spellings `nurd' and `gnurd'
also used to be current at MIT, where `nurd' is reported from as far
back as 1957.) How it developed its mainstream meaning is unclear,
but
sense 1 seems to have entered mass culture in the early 1970s (there
are reports that in the mid-1960s it meant roughly "annoying misfit"
without the connotation of intelligence.
An IEEE Spectrum article (4/95, page 16) once derived `nerd' in its
variant form `knurd' from the word `drunk' backwards, but this bears
all the hallmarks of a bogus folk etymology. Apparently this
etymology
was folklore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute around 1979.
Hackers developed sense 2 in self-defense perhaps ten years later,
and
some actually wear "Nerd Pride" buttons, only half as a joke. At MIT
one can find not only buttons but (what else?) pocket protectors
bearing the slogan and the MIT seal.
