Meaning and background
The story behind Easy
Easy has a history connected with comfort and being at ease, followed by the familiar lack-of-difficulty sense. The English word came through Old French forms rather than from an invented virtue-name translation. For a dog, it can express an owner's relaxed style or a private reference. It should not be taken as a promise that training or care will require little effort. Because Easy also occurs in ordinary requests and reassurance, try it in the phrases your household naturally uses.
- Origin
- English adjective from Old French ease-related forms, with senses of comfort and lack of difficulty. Source
