Makes something less loud or calms someone down; reduces noise or commotion.
From Latin 'quietus' meaning 'at rest or still,' which evolved into Middle English 'quyet.' The '-s' form indicates third-person singular present tense.
The Latin root 'quietus' also gave us 'quit' and 'acquit'—all originally meant 'to set free or put at rest,' showing how diverse meanings can grow from one root!
