Word Origin
The word 'callow' originates from Old English 'calu', meaning 'bald' or 'naked'. It was initially used to describe young birds that were featherless or unfledged. From this literal sense of being 'uncovered' or 'bare', its meaning expanded to describe a person who is immature, inexperienced, or lacking in the sophistication that comes with age and experience.
