Where this word comes from
Origin uncertain. Possibly from Late Latin cauma, from Ancient Greek καῦμα (kaûma, “heat, heat of the sun”). Compare Late Latin caumāre (“to rest during the heat (of the day), to siesta”), Sursilvan Romansh cauma (“resting place for livestock, especially during the noon heat”). If the Italian (and Ibero-Romance) word calma originally referred to the heat of the sun, especially around noon (and later to quiet during this time of the day), it may have been influenced by words like Latin calor (“heat”) and cal(i)dus (“hot”), accounting for cal- instead of the expected cau-. Compare also Proto-Germanic *kalmaz (“frozenness, cold”).
