"Weakling" is an English term for a person who is physically or mentally weak, or unable to handle stress or effort. It appeared in English by the 16th–17th centuries as a diminutive of "weak," literally meaning "a small or feeble person." The term is used in informal, critical, or mocking contexts to describe someone lacking strength, resilience, or toughness. It is mildly derogatory, context-dependent, and not vulgar, conveying criticism rather than extreme insult.
