Where it comes from
From Latin stōicismus. By surface analysis, stoic + -ism. First attested in the 1620s.
noun stoicisms
- A school of philosophy popularized during the Roman Empire that emphasized reason as a means of understanding the natural state of things, or logos, and as a means of freeing oneself from emotional distress.
- A real or pretended indifference to pleasure or pain; insensibility; impassiveness. Jones’ sad eyes betray a pervasive pain his purposefully spare dialogue only hints at, while the perfectly cast Brolin conveys hints of playfulness and warmth while staying true to the craggy stoicism at the character’s core.
