makes someone or something peaceful, quiet, or less agitated; soothes anxiety or fear.
From Latin 'calma' meaning 'heat' (from Greek 'kampa'), originally referring to the still, hot conditions of a calm sea. It metaphorically extended to mean emotional peace.
Different people's brains calm through opposite stimuli—some need silence and solitude while others need loud music or social activity; neuroscience shows this relates to dopamine sensitivity, not personality weakness or strength.
