tranquilidad
|tran-qui-li-dad|
/tɾanki.liˈðað/
state of calm
Etymology
'tranquilidad' originates from Spanish, specifically formed from the adjective 'tranquilo' plus the suffix '-idad', where 'tranquilo' comes from Latin 'tranquillus' meaning 'calm' and the suffix '-idad' indicates 'state or quality'.
'tranquillus' (Latin) evolved into Medieval Latin 'tranquillitas' and then into Old Spanish forms before becoming the modern Spanish noun 'tranquilidad'.
Initially, related forms meant 'calm' or 'stillness' (physical calm); over time the term broadened to include mental calm, peacefulness, and the abstract 'state of calm'.
