Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro Middle French décent, or its source, Latin decēns, present participle of decet (it is fitting or suitable), from Proto-Indo-European *deḱ- (to take, accept, to receive, greet, be suitable) (compare δοκέω, δέχομαι (to accept);, दाशति (makes offerings, bestows)). Meaning ‘kind, pleasant’ is from 1902.
