sự nặng nề
/ˈpɒndərəsnəs//ˈpɑːndərəsnəs/The word "ponderousness" originates from the Latin "ponderosus," meaning "weighty" or "hefty." This Latin adjective is derived from "ponus," meaning "weight" or "burden," and the suffix "-osus," which forms an adjective. The Latin term "ponderosus" initially referred to something that is physically heavy or weighty. From there, the word "ponderousness" evolved in Middle English (circa 1300) to describe something that is not only physically heavy but also cumbersome, slow-moving, or tedious. The connotation is often negative, implying a lack of lightness, ease, or agility. Today, "ponderousness" is used to characterize something that is heavy-handed, pedantic, or slow to comprehend or react. Interestingly, the Latin root "ponus" is also the source of the English word "ponder," meaning to weigh or consider something carefully.
