Cordial means friendly and polite.

It used to describe people and their behavior toward others in social situations, especially when they do not know each other well.

When you treat people cordially, you treat them with a sincere friendliness and warmth. A cordial greeting is a warm and friendly one, especially one intended to make someone feel welcome.

The quality of being cordial is cordiality.

Cordial can also be used as a noun meaning a sweetened liquor (more commonly called a liqueur) or a kind of nonalcoholic fruit-based drink, like lime cordial.��

Example: My parents were always very cordial and welcoming when I brought new friends home.��

The first records of the word cordial come from the 1300s. It comes from the Medieval Latin word ���ǰ��徱�������, from the Latin cor, meaning “heart.”

Less common meanings of cordial include “heartfelt” (as in sincere) and “giving heart” (as in stimulating). But cordial is most commonly used to mean warm and friendly in a way that’s from the heart. Someone who’s described as cordial is probably interacting with someone whom they don’t know very well—since it’s usually a given that you’re warm and friendly with people who are already your friends.
