The word "aplomb" originates from the French term "à plomb," which translates to "according to the plumb line." In a figurative sense, it refers to being in a state of balance or equilibrium. The term was adopted into English in the late 19th century, retaining its meaning of poise and self-assurance, especially in difficult situations.
