cooling
Becoming less hot
Cooling is the process of becoming or making something less warm.
It describes temperature reduction Leave the pie out for cooling or systems that manage heat the cooling system in a car.
Figuratively, cooling applies to diminishing intensity—a cooling economy slows down, cooling enthusiasm wanes, and a cooling-off period lets tempers settle before resuming negotiations.
