Etymology
Ηρεμήστε is the plural or polite imperative of the verb ηρεμώ, meaning to be calm or to calm down. The verb is formed from the adjective ήρεμος, meaning calm, quiet, or still, which goes back to Ancient Greek ἤρεμος with the same sense. The exact deeper root of ἤρεμος is not firmly established, so no proto-Indo-European root is given here.
