Etymology

Derived from the stem 涼 (suzu-) of the classical adjective 涼し (suzushi), combined with the suffix やか (-yaka), which forms na-adjectives expressing a state or quality. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the word has been used since classical Japanese to describe a refreshing coolness.
