Etymology
'cool' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'cōl', where 'cōl' meant 'cold' or 'not warm'.
'cool' changed from Old English 'cōl' through Middle English forms (like 'cole'/'cool') and eventually became the modern English word 'cool'.
Initially, it meant 'cold' or 'not warm', but over time it also developed figurative senses such as 'calm' and 'fashionably attractive', which are common in modern usage.
