Etymology
The word 'stolidly' derives from 'stolid', which comes from the Latin word 'stolidus', meaning 'unmoving, dull, or heavy'. The term initially entered the English language in the late 17th century. It suggests a certain permanence of demeanor and was used to describe people who do not easily show their emotions. 'Stolid' was influenced by related words from Latin and Middle French, encapsulating a sense of emotional stability or dullness. In contemporary usage, 'stolidly' often refers to individuals in situations that call for profound emotional responses where they remain unperturbed or indifferent.
