Definition
In a manner that shows careful planning and strategic thinking, often with an undertone of being cold or manipulative.
Etymology
From calculating (present participle of calculate) plus -ly. Calculating as an adjective typically describes someone who thinks strategically but sometimes with selfish motives.
Kelly Says
English speakers use 'calculating' to describe both brilliant strategists AND manipulative people—it's one of those words where the same root can mean either admirable or suspicious depending on context and tone.
