cool it, to

To calm down. This slangy Americanism emerged about 1950 and caught on rapidly. It is thought to come from the usage of “cool” to mean calm and unflustered. In 1953 E. Gilbert wrote, “Cool it, girl. Nobody’s interested” (Hot and Cool). Related expressions from the same period are to keep one’s cool, meaning to remain calm, and the antonym to lose/blow one’s cool, for losing one’s composure.
