Etymology
perhaps continuing Middle English daffte, daft, defte "well-mannered, gentle, dull, foolish" — more at daft
Note: Rather than being derived directly from Middle English, Modern English deft may go back to an unattested Old English *gedefte (with umlaut), with a meaning "fit, ready" developing to "apt, skilfull"; the sense shift is otherwise difficult to account for, though the lack of any certain attestation of deft in the sense "skillful" before the later 16th century makes this scenario hypothetical.
First Known Use
