Etymology

The word 'coolly' originates from the adjective 'cool', which has been in use since the 14th century. 'Cool' comes from the Old English 'cลl', meaning 'moderately cold' or 'chilly'. Over time, the meaning of 'cool' evolved to also convey a sense of calmness, composure, and self-assuredness, especially in social contexts. The adverbial form 'coolly' started to appear in English around the early 19th century, emphasizing the cool demeanor of individuals in various situations. The modern usage often implies not just a lack of warmth or heat, but also an emotionally detached or unfazed attitude towards events, making it applicable in both casual and formal contexts.
