Did You Know?
Gelid first appeared in English late in the 16th century, coming to our language from Latin gelidus, which ultimately derives from the noun gelu, meaning "frost" or "cold." (The noun gelatin, which can refer to an edible jelly that undergoes a cooling process as part of its formation, comes from a related Latin word: gelare, meaning "to freeze.") Gelid is used to describe anything of extremely cold temperature (as in "the gelid waters of the Arctic Ocean"), but the word can also be used figuratively to describe a person with a cold demeanor (as in "the criminal's gelid stare").
Gelid 最开始出现在英语16世纪后期,来自于拉丁语的 gelidus,最终源于名词 gelu,意为“frost ”or“cold”(The noun gelatin, which can refer to an edible jelly that undergoes a cooling process as part of its formation,comes from a related Latin word: gelare, meaning"to freeze."「名词 gelatin,意思是可以食用的果冻,果冻在形成时通过冷却而凝固,来自于拉丁语:gelare ,意思是“冻结”」)Gelid 描述了为任何条件下的极冷温度,(as in "the gelid waters of the Argtic Ocean")但是这个词也可用作描述一个人性格的冷淡(as in“the criminal's gelid stare「罪犯冷漠的视线」”)
