Etymology of UNALARMING

The word "unalarming" is formed by combining the prefix "un-" (meaning "not") with the adjective "alarming".

The adjective "alarming" originates from the verb "alarm", which comes from the Middle French word "alarmer" and the Italian word "allarmare", both meaning "to cause fright" or "to give an alarm". These words can be traced back to the Arabic term "al-ʿalārmah", meaning "the call to arms" or "the war cry". It is believed that "al-ʿalārmah" entered Romance languages during the Muslim conquests of Spain and Sicily.

Over time, the adjective form "alarming" developed, referring to something that causes concern, fear, or agitation.
