According to Google the correct spelling is "nitwit". The "nit" part of the word is from the German dialectal, (eg from Middle High German "niht") meaning not or nothing in English. "Wit" is the English part of the word, which is a // form of intellectual humour, and a "wit" //is someone skilled in making witty remarks.
