The word "refreshingly" has its roots in the 16th century. The word "refresh" comes from the Old French "refrescher," which means "to cool" or "to refresh." This suffix "-ly" is used to form adverbs, indicating the manner in which something is done. So, "refreshingly" literally means "in a refreshing manner." In the early 16th century, the word "refreshingly" emerged in the English language, initially used to describe something that brings feelings of coolness, calmness, or rejuvenation. Over time, its meaning expanded to encompass a broader range of pleasant experiences, such as a refreshing drink, a cool breeze, or a delightful conversation. Today, "refreshingly" is used to describe something that provides a sense of renewal, revitalization, or excitement.
