The stupidest word ever

naif \nah-EEF; ny-\, adjective:

1. Naive.
2. A naive or inexperienced person.

Uh... Why not just say NAIVE? Oh, wait. Maybe there is an interesting etymology, lest I judge too quickly.

Naif comes from French, from Old French naif, "naive, natural, just born," from Latin nativus, "native, rustic," literally "born, inborn, natural," from Latin nativus, "inborn, produced by birth," from natus, past participle of nasci, "to be born."

Hmm. That's pretty retarded too. Then, the "in-context" examples that WordDictionary.com gave for this word used it as a NOUN, even though that usage doesn't match the definition given.

Argh. Is it so much to ask for an effing word a day? Alls I wanna do is learn, y'all.
