dunderheaded

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   old-fashioned: very stupid or foolish

   The dunderheaded scheme failed because no one had checked the basic figures.

Formed from dunder + headed, alongside dunderhead, 'a stupid person.' Dunder may be related to an obsolete Scots word for a loud or resounding noise, though the compound's deeper development is uncertain.
