Etymology
The word 'quiet' originates from the Latin word 'quietus,' which means 'resting' or 'at rest.' It has roots in the Old French 'quiet,' which transitioned into Middle English as 'quyet' or 'quiet.' Over time, the term evolved to refer broadly to the absence of noise and has been used in both literary and conversational contexts throughout history. The comparative form 'quieter' develops from the base adjective by following the standard English rules for comparative formation, indicating a greater degree of quietness compared to another subject.
