calm
Serene and collected
Calm describes a state without agitation or disturbance.
Calm weather has no wind; calm water has no waves.
A calm person remains composed under pressure: She stayed calm during the crisis.
As a noun, calm is that peaceful state itself: the calm before the storm.
To calm is to bring about such a state: He tried to calm the crying child.
Calm down is the common imperative for reducing someone's agitation—or your own.
