Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word nice.Around the year 1300, nice was first used in English to mean "stupid(silly)". Two hundred years later, nice began to carry a "better" meaning. If people said a book was written nicely, they meant the book was written "clearly" or "carefully", not "stupidly". After 1800, nice began to take its meaning like "kind" or "friendly". Since then, people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings. A good change of a word's meaning like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION.
