'stylish' originates from the word 'style,' which comes from the Latin word 'stilus,' meaning 'a pointed instrument for writing.'

'style' evolved from the Old French word 'estile,' which was derived from the Latin 'stilus.'

Initially, 'style' referred to a writing instrument, but over time it evolved to mean 'a manner of doing something,' and eventually 'stylish' came to mean 'fashionable or elegant.'
