Did you know?
"Stolid" derives from "stolidus," a word that means "dull" or "stupid" in
Latin. It is also distantly related to the word "stultify," meaning "to cause
to appear or be stupid, foolish, or absurdly illogical." The earliest
examples of usage for "stolid," dating back to the 17th century, indicate
that it too was originally associated with a lack of smarts; it was used to
describe people who were considered dull or stupid because they didn't wear
their emotions on their sleeves. By the 1800s, however, "stolid" was
frequently appearing without the connotation of foolishness, and it continues
to be free of such overtones today.
