"Weirdo" comes from "weird," which originally meant fate or destiny in Old English before shifting to mean strange or unusual. The "-o" ending formed a casual noun in American slang by the early 20th century. It refers to someone seen as very strange or eccentric. The term is used informally and can be teasing or insulting depending on tone. It is context-dependent, sometimes neutral or even self-applied humorously.
