CALM

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 59 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALM , an
adjective
  meaning peaceful, quiet; particularly used of the
weather
 , free from wind or
storm
 , or of the sea, opposed to rough. The word appears in
French
  calme, through which it came into
English
 , in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian calma. Most authorities follow
Diez
  (Etym. Worterbuch der romanischen Sprachen) in tracing the origin to the Low Latin cauma, an
adaptation
  of
Greek
  Kai ia, burning heat, Kalew, to burn. The Portuguese calma has this meaning as well as that of quiet. The connexion would be heat of the day, rest during that period, so quiet, rest, peacefulness. The insertion of the 1, which in
English
  pronunciation disappears, is probably due to the Latin color, heat, with which the word was associated.
