The word **从容 (cóngróng)**, meaning "composed," "unhurried," or "calm," is formed through the combination of two meaningful characters: **从 (cóng)**, which originally depicted one person following another and carries connotations of "following," "going along with," or "ease," and **容 (róng)**, which signifies "to contain," "to hold," or "appearance/manner." Together, they create an abstract concept that metaphorically suggests a state of mind or demeanor that "follows containment" or "flows with tolerance," implying inner steadiness, poise, and the ability to remain unhurried and in control despite external pressures.
