Meaning & usage

adj/ˈjou̯heʋɑ/[ˈjo̞u̯ɦe̞ʋɑ̝]
  1. smooth, brisk, without difficulty

  2. easygoing, relaxed, jovial, laid-back

Where this word comes from

juoh- + -ea (possibly with -va), of unknown further origin. Originally juohea ~ juoheva (“gradual, gentle (e.g. of a slope)”); this then developed into “occurring smoothly, steadily”, and then into the present meanings. The vocalism with -ou- might be by confusion with dialectal jouheva (“with many long, stiff hairs (of a horse)”) (derived from jouhi).
