The term "foolproof" originates in 1902. [1] The term "idiot-proof" became popular in the 1970s.

Perhaps for the same reason, "foolproof" is now a formal term, whereas "idiot-proof" remains informal.
Poka-yoke was originally baka-yoke, but as this means "fool-proofing" (or "idiot-proofing") the name was changed to the milder poka-yoke. [4] Poka-yoke is derived from poka o yokeru (ポカを避ける), a term in shogi that means avoiding an unthinkably bad move.
