Etymology

The word 'unquiet' is derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'quiet,' which comes from the Latin 'quietus,' meaning 'rest' or 'peace.' It entered the English language in the 15th century. The term 'quiet' has evolved over time, and the prefix adds a negation to signify the absence of calmness or tranquility. The use of 'unquiet' was notably utilized in literature to describe turbulent emotions or tumultuous situations, reflecting a state contrary to peace.
