    An encourageable greenhorn. No matter how much you try, the person has no idea of what he is being instructed, nor does he care. The person is hopeless

      A cretin can only be described as a really [dumb], [moron], or [idiot]
      although cretin sounds much more official.
      The word cretin is derived from the latin kretton. Which means [brainless ghoul]

                  A word derived from [the French] slang term crétin (/kʀ[et]ɛ̃/) roughly translated as idiot although in reality is often used in a more offensive way. It may also mean geek in the context of [the French language] but is not used in this way in English.
