gormless /gĂ´rm′lÄs/adjectiveLacking intelligence or vitality; stupid or dull.Lacking intelligence, sense or discernment, often implying lack of capacity of will to remedy the condition.Inexperienced, naĂŻve, innocent to the point of foolishness.
“Gorm” is a verb that means “to gawk, to stare or gape”. “Gormless” is an adjective that means “wanting sense, stupid”. Both words are British slang.
I love watching some British shows, because I learn an entirely new vocabulary. One of the best insults I have ever heard is to call somebody a “gormless clackwaffle.“
My mom, with her New England accent, always pronounced “Gormless” like “Gom-less”. I didn’t realize until I was an adult, the letter “r” was in there.

Why would anyone want to have plenty of stupidity?

It’s funny that gormless means stupid but there’s no such word as gorm or gormy meaning smart!
