Morosophy is a portmanteau of Greek μωρός (moron) and σοφία (sophia).
An early use is noted in Erasmus's The Praise of Folly:
- "we'll even call them morosophous, wise fools"
It is also the title of La Morosophie (1553), a work by French writer Guillaume de La Perrière.
A contemporary equivalent word is phoolosophy.
