Tranquility


My reasoning behind the word tranquility, other than the fact that it rolls off the tongue, is the fact that after saying it, you really do feel its meaning.


It comes from the latin "tranquillus" and is defined as: the quality or state of being tranquil; serenity.


I also always think of the french translation, tranquilite. In the movie, Chocolat (dorky, I know), they describe a small village using this word, and so I always have that mental image.


So, in stressful times, such as college classes and what not, I think a little tranquility goes a long way, and I appreciate that.
