Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here is an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.
