Origin of the word coolness

"Coolness" has a fascinating history. Originally, "cool" meant "moderate in temperature," deriving from the Old English "col." By the 16th century, it expanded to describe a calm or indifferent attitude, likely influenced by the idea of "cold" as a state of emotional detachment. In the 20th century, "coolness" evolved further, becoming associated with a sense of style, composure, and individuality. Its modern usage is rooted in the 1950s, where it represented rebellion against conformity and a preference for jazz music.
