Etymology
The phrase 'calm down' originated in the early 19th century and is derived from the Middle English word 'calme' meaning 'tranquil' or 'peaceful'. The addition of 'down' emphasizes the need to lower one's emotional intensity. Over time, the expression has become widely used in everyday language to encourage emotional regulation and relaxation.
