Solid
Physics defines a solid as a phase/state of matter (possessing mass) in which the molecules (particles formed by atoms, the simplest unit of matter) are tightly packed together. As such a solid exhibit characteristics such as high density, etc.
However, solid is also used as a figure of speech when we refer to something that is very tough or steady. For example, when we say the sound of this choir is very solid we mean the choir produces a very steady and perhaps heavy sound. In this case the word presents itself to have positive connotations.
Yet, when one's heart is solid, one is cold, and maybe merciless as well. A heart of a person is one thing you never want solid.
Sadly, mine is.
