ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sprezzatura

Sprezzatura is a fancy word that means making something seem really effortless when it is actually really hard. Imagine you are playing a game with your friends and you are the best player, but you don't want to make it obvious to them that you are trying really hard. You want to make it look like you are just having fun and not really trying your best. That's kind of what sprezzatura means - pretending like you aren't working hard even when you actually are. It's like when you see a really good dancer make a move that looks super easy, but you know it must have taken a lot of practice to get that good. It's like magic - making something hard look easy!
