childishnessnoun
sự trẻ con
/ˈtʃaɪldɪʃnəs//ˈtʃaɪldɪʃnəs/The word "childishness" has a fascinating history. The term can be traced back to the 15th century, when it was first used in Middle English as "childishnes". It is derived from the Old English words "cild" meaning "child" and the suffix "-ishness" meaning "quality" or "state". Initially, the term referred to the qualities or characteristics of a child, such as innocence, simplicity, or naivety. Over time, the connotation of the word shifted, and by the 17th century, "childishness" began to take on a more negative meaning, implying immaturity, lack of seriousness, or foolishness. Today, the term is often used to describe behavior or attitudes that are considered immature or unseemly in adults. Despite its negative connotation, the word "childishness" still retains a hint of its original meaning, reminding us of the importance of preserving a sense of wonder, curiosity, and openness characteristic of childhood.
