Etymology

The French noun **l’inquiet** comes from Old French *inquiet*, itself borrowed from Latin *inquietus* “unsettled, restless”. *Inquietus* is a combination of the negative prefix *in-* (not) with *quietus* “calm, at rest”, the latter from *quies* “silence, rest”. The word entered French as an adjective meaning “uneasy, agitated”, and later was used nominally to denote a person who is anxious or agitated.
