Why is nerd even an insult?

Nerd as an insult basically means "you are smarter than me, and that makes me feel inferior so I must cover up my inadequacy by making fun of you".
Also, a lot of people don't know this, but the term "nerd" was actually coined from Dr. Seuss. Yup, you heard me right.

Why? Being nerdy comes with the advantage of being smart but it also means you're socially disabled and have no friends.
