In architecture, a folly is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting through its appearance some other purpose, or of such extravagant appearance that it transcends the range of usual garden buildings.
In Greek mythology, Ate, Até or Aite was the goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path of ruin.
Folly was a sailing schooner that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel during World War I. Folly served on section patrol duties in the 5th Naval District in a non-commissioned status during the period the United States participated in the war.
