Word Origin & Etymology

Formed from the adjective 'nonchalant' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Nonchalant' was borrowed in the 18th century from French, combining 'non-' (not) with the present participle of 'chaloir' (to matter or be of concern), which ultimately derives from the Latin 'calere' (to be warm or ardent).
