    The old psychiatrists of Eastern Europe also included in their taxonomy "debilism" or "salon debils". This is a qualitative anomaly understood as hereditary and somewhat similar to schizoidia. Such individuals were generally decent, but marked by flat, coaxing talkativeness and an inability to understand any sort of serious matter.

词源

Compare Polish debilizm and Russian дебилизм (debilizm), ultimately from Latin debilis (“weak; disabled”). By surface analysis, debile + -ism.
