stolid

Pronounced: STAH-luhd, adj

Notes: I look at this word and see “solid”, which is a kind of a hint


Yesterday’s word

The word brio means “vigor or vivacity”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1700s

Background / Comments

Our word is a nice, useful word — I hope I can bring it into conversations. Our word has come a ways: it came to use from the Italian word brio (liveliness), which came from the Spanish word brio (spirit), which came from the Celtic word brigos (strength).
