Can I have the origin please?

If you’ve been following the blog closely, you know that Heather O’Reilly brought a book of vocabulary words with her to China in an effort to further her intellectual growth. She’s now taken it one step further, bringing that knowledge to the team. Heather is picking one word a day, and along with the definition, and its use in a sentence, it gets printed on the USA’s Daily Schedule that gets slipped under the doors each night by General Manager Cheryl Bailey. Words that O’Reily has chosen so far include “banal” and “acquiesce.”

I got a good word: sang froid. It is a noun and it means coolness and composure, especially in trying circumstances. As in: "Abby surely showed sang froid when she scored on the penalty to win the game."
