Etymology
The word 'chilly' is derived from the Middle English word 'chille', which means 'to cool' or 'to become cold'. The Old English form is 'cielâ', which is related to the concept of coolness or coldness. Over time, it evolved in the English language, gaining different forms and usages. The comparative form 'chillier' became prevalent as people began to describe a range of temperature sensations more precisely, indicating a transition from simple descriptions of cold to nuanced comparisons of chilliness. This reflects a broader tendency in language to adapt to the varying experiences of individuals as they encounter different climates and environmental conditions.
