sự ngột ngạt
/ˈstʌfinəs//ˈstʌfinəs/The word "stuffiness" has a fascinating origin! The term is believed to have emerged in the 15th century from the Old English words "stof" meaning "stuff" and "ignis" meaning "ember" or "spark". Initially, "stuffiness" referred to the quality of being full of hot air or smoke, similar to the sensation of being in a crowded and overheated space. Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to encompass not only the physical sensation of being in a stuffy environment but also the emotional concept of being pretentious, affected, or artificially grandiose. This connotation is often used to describe someone who speaks or behaves in an overly formal or pretentious manner. Throughout history, the word has remained synonymous with feelings of claustrophobia, annoyance, and even boredom, often used to describe situations or people that are perceived as stale, uninspiring, or lacking in freshness.
