Retonto is a
disambiguation of 'retarded' in a context meaning 'dumb', 'stupid', 'crazy', etc. It originates as a cross-language
compound word consisting of the English word 'Retarded' and the word 'Tonto' which, in Spanish and Italian means 'Dumb' or 'Silly', and in some
Native American languages means 'wild one'.
Therefore, Retonto is essentially a cross between 'Retarded', 'Dumb', and 'Wild'.
