repose

Calm at ease

Repose is rest or tranquility—a state of calm, especially after exertion.

A body at repose lies still; a face in repose shows no expression.

The word carries a formal or literary tone: She found repose in the garden.

To repose is to rest or lie, and figuratively, to place trust or confidence: He reposed his faith in the court system.
