The French noun **consolation** derives directly from the Latin *consolatio* “comfort, solace.” *Consolatio* is formed from the verb *consolare* “to comfort,” which comes from *solare* “to ease, to loosen” (related to *solvo* “to free”). It entered Old French as *consolacion* and, through regular sound changes, became the modern *consolation*.
réconfort apaisement soulagement rassurance répit confort sérénité
