calmcalm, calmness (as a state)Etymology
Romanian borrowed "calm" from French "calme", which came from Italian "calma". The Italian word traces back to Late Latin "cauma", meaning the heat of the midday sun, a time when people rested. That Latin word came from Greek "kaûma" (burning heat), from the verb "kaiein", to burn. The sense shifted from midday heat and rest to the general idea of stillness and calm.
