Definition
从容 describes a calm, unhurried manner, often with an air of ease and confidence when handling situations. It differs from 冷静 (lěngjìng), which emphasizes emotional coolness and rationality, and from 缓慢 (huǎnmàn), which only refers to slowness of speed. Compared to 镇定 (zhèndìng) and 镇静 (zhènjìng), 从容 focuses more on a composed, unhurried demeanor rather than just emotional stability.
