Physically relaxed, or free from worry

When to use it

One word covers two senses: the physical one, used of a chair, a bed or a pair of shoes that give the body ease, and the mental one, being untroubled by a situation or a decision, which is followed by a preposition. The word itself is neutral and fits any situation, formal or casual. Now the reason it appears here, which is the pronunciation. The spelling has four syllables, but almost nobody says four: one of the vowels in the middle of the word is simply not pronounced, so the word comes out with three. British and American speakers drop a different one, which is why you will hear two slightly different versions, both correct and both three beats long. What matters for you is the rhythm rather than which version you copy: heavy stress on the first syllable, then everything after it light and fast. Giving all four written syllables equal weight is the clearest sign of a non-native speaker here.
