Etymology of MORE DINGBAT

The term "dingbat" is derived from the late 19th-century American slang, which referred to a foolish or eccentric person. It likely originated as a combination of "ding" (an imitation of a bell sound used to suggest that someone is crazy or mentally unstable) and "bat" (a colloquial term meaning a person who is eccentric or strange).

The addition of "more" before "dingbat" in the phrase "more dingbat" simply emphasizes the degree of foolishness or eccentricity. This construction is used to imply that someone or something is even more outlandish or batty than usual. It's often employed to convey a sense of incredulity or amusement towards a particularly outrageous individual or idea.
