Word origin
The word 'calming' originates from the verb 'calm', which comes from the Middle English 'calme', and ultimately from the Old French 'calme'. The Old French word is of unknown origin but is thought to be related to the Latin 'cauma' meaning 'heat of the midday sun'. Over time, 'calm' evolved to 'calming' to describe something that brings a sense of peace or tranquility.
