coolheaded

/kˈulhɛdᵻd/ adj

Having an even temper; calm and collected

Word Origin A compound of cool (from Proto-Germanic 'kōlaz' meaning 'cool, cold') and head with -ed — so coolheaded is having a 'cool head,' calm and unflustered. The metaphor is temperature: a hothead boils over, a coolhead stays chill. The same pattern gives us levelheaded and hardheaded, all describing temperament through the head.
