Word origin
The word 'cordial' originated from the Latin word 'cordialis' meaning 'of or for the heart'. It was used in medieval medicine to refer to a medicine that invigorates the heart. Over time, the meaning evolved to include a warm and friendly demeanor. The modern usage of 'cordial' reflects its dual nature of being both pleasant and friendly.
