Etymology
The term 'laid-back' originated in the United States in the mid-20th century. It combines 'laid' (meaning relaxed or calm) with 'back' (meaning toward the rear or behind). The phrase reflects a casual and easy-going attitude that became popular in the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
