Lore EA nice
late 13th century, "foolish, ignorant, frivolous, senseless"
from Old French nice (12thc.) "careless, clumsy; weak; poor, needy; simple, stupid, silly, foolish"
from Latin nescius "ignorant, unaware," literally "not-knowing"
The German translation for the contemporary nice is "nett" which stems from Latin nitidus, making it equivalent to the English neat.
In contemporary usage, nice is a synonym for many virtues and positive attributes! A complete ☣ distortion of the original sense and meaning ("foolish, ignorant, frivolous, senseless") or, literally, "not-knowing."
