Etymology
The word 'quieting' comes from the adjective 'quiet', which has its origins in Middle English 'quiete', derived from Old French 'quiet', and ultimately from Latin 'quietus', meaning 'calm, at rest, or free from disturbance'. The transition from 'quiet' to 'quieting' showcases the evolution of how we express the action of making something quiet. 'Quiet' has been used in various contexts to describe a state of stillness or absence of sound since its earliest usages in English. The variation 'quieting' reflects an ongoing action towards achieving peace or silence, a concept that has been valued throughout history in many cultures as a way to promote well-being and contemplation.
