The verb "chillax" has been around since the mid-nineties. A blend of verbs "chill" and "relax", its initial use was largely in the imperative as a way of telling someone to "calm down" and "relax about something". Though originally associated with teen-speak and younger people, it was gradually picked up on by older language users, over time taking on the slightly different meaning of "relaxing for pleasure".
The word "chill" dates right back to Old English, derived from words "cele" and "ciele" meaning 'cold, coldness'.
