ETYMOLOGY
tranquil (adj.)
mid-15c., a back-formation from tranquility or else from Latin tranquillus “quiet, calm, still.”
tranquility (n.)
also tranquillity, late 14c., from Old French tranquilite “peace, happiness” (12c.), from Latin tranquillitatem (nominative tranquillitas) “quietness, stillness; serenity,” from tranquillus “quiet, calm, still,” perhaps from trans- “over” (here perhaps in its intensive sense of “exceedingly”) and an adjective from PIE root *kweie- “be quiet,” but de Vaan finds this “semantically vague” and phonetically disputable.
