Definition
A state of rest, sleep, or tranquility; peaceful stillness or calm.
Etymology
From Old French 'reposer', from Latin 'repausare' meaning 'to pause again', from 're-' (again) and 'pausare' (to pause). The word evolved from meaning a temporary pause to describing a state of peaceful rest or calm.
Kelly Says
Repose carries an elegance that 'rest' lacks - it suggests not just the absence of activity but a positive state of graceful stillness. In art, figures shown in repose convey dignity and contemplation, while in death, we speak of eternal repose, transforming an ending into something almost noble.
