Etimologia (Inglese)

Preso in prestito da latino: algidus

Affine italiano: algente

Affine inglese: algor

In summary

Borrowed from Latin algidus (“very cold”), used in medical and poetic senses to describe coldness and stiffness. The figurative sense is perhaps derived from the frequently fatal algid stage of a fever (characterized by coldness as a result of shock).
See also Italian algente (“cold”) and English algor.
