Etymology of STILLED
The word "stilled" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "still". The verb "still" can have several meanings, but in the context of calming or quieting something, it comes from the Old English word "stylian" or "styllan". This Old English word ultimately derives from the Proto-Germanic word "*stuljaną". The Proto-Germanic word, in turn, is believed to have its origin in the Proto-Indo-European root "*stelh₁-" which means "fixed" or "immovable". From this root, the various Germanic languages developed their own forms, leading to the Old English "stylian" and eventually the modern English "still" and "stilled".
