the superpower of doing nothing visibly while your brain runs a hundred miles an hour.
means The state of being free from agitation or strong emotion — a settled, untroubled quiet of mind or surroundings.
from From "calm" plus the noun-making suffix "-ness." "Calm" came into English in the late Middle Ages, borrowed from Old French and Italian "calma," and traced back to Late Latin "cauma," meaning the heat of the day — that drowsy noon hour when the wind dropped, ships sat still on a flat sea, and everyone rested. That word itself comes from Greek "kauma," "burning heat." So the stillness in "calm" originally wasn't peace of mind at all, but the becalmed hush of a sweltering, windless afternoon.
