Word origin

The word 'mellow' has its roots in Old English, derived from the word 'melu' which means 'soft' or 'pleasant'. It evolved through Middle English as 'melowe' and has been used in various contexts to describe ripeness or tenderness. By the 17th century, 'mellow' began to take on more figurative meanings, particularly in relation to personality traits and emotional states, suggesting relaxation and calmness. The comparative form 'mellower' indicates a greater degree of this quality, signifying not only a physical change but also a transformation in character or experience over time. It is frequently used in contexts involving aging, as in the mellower taste of aged whiskey or the mellower mood that comes with wisdom and time.
