Once the idiot was an object of awe. Afterwards he was given a seat at the lords' tables because he could make merry gentlemen laugh: Thence-forward "silly" which had meant blessed, expressed amused contempt. Folly became profitable. The quick-witted coveted the place of the half-witted and obtained his priveleges without shame. That is the origin of the jester.
