coollyadverb
lạnh lùng
/ˈkuːlli//ˈkuːlli/The word "coolly" has a fascinating history. It originated in the mid-17th century from the Old English words "cōl" meaning "cool" and the suffix "-ly" which forms an adverb. Initially, "coolly" meant "in a cool manner" or "with a coolness." Over time, its meaning expanded to describe someone or something that is calm, composed, and restrained, especially in a challenging or difficult situation. In the 19th century, "coolly" took on a new connotation in African American Vernacular English, carrying a tone of urbanity, nonchalance, and even wit. This nuance is thought to have originated in the jazz and blues scenes of the early 20th century, where musicians and performers would use the phrase to describe their relaxed and collected demeanor amidst chaos. Today, "coolly" is used to express admiration for someone's poise, calmness, and confidence in the face of adversity.
