Etymology

The French adjective “sommeil” (meaning sleepy or in a state of sleep) is derived from Old French *somel* or *soml*, which in turn comes from Latin **somnus** “sleep.” The term entered Middle French as *sommeil*, keeping the Latin root while adopting the typical French noun/adjective suffix *‑el*. Over time it has come to denote the physiological state of rest characterized by reduced mental and physical activity.
