stonehearted

/stˈoʊnhɑɹɾᵻd/ adj

Synonym of hardhearted.

Word Origin A vivid compound from Old English roots: stone (from Proto-Germanic *stainaz) and heart (from *hertō). Literally 'having a heart made of stone' — unyielding, cold. The same heart root gives us hearty, heartless, and sweetheart, while stone appears in milestone and gravestone. The PIE root *steyh₂- for stone also gives us Greek stear 'fat' — a surprising connection: both are solid, dense substances.
