And the word is:
Sprezzatura
sprezza’tura (n)
1. an Italian word
2. first noted in The Book of the Courtier (1528) by Baldassare Castiglione, a Renaissance work outlining what is expected of
the perfect courtier: elegance in words, elegance in manner, elegance in appearance- all accomplished with seeming effortlessness
3. in current fashion vernacular, sprezzatura is the quality of stylish nonchalance- as only the Italians seem to do, so very well.
