chill

Nip of cold

Chill, a noun, adjective, and verb, is associated with coldness, but has recently taken on some informal positive associations, like cool did before it.

To chill something is to reduce the temperature of it.

A chill is a reduction in temperature, or a reduction in friendly feelings.

If you want to chill, however, you want to relax in a low-stress environment, and a chill dude is a relaxed guy.
