It’s Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day today, and I initially let it pass. But it is a nice Latinate word, so here is a context clues worksheet on the adjective quiescent. Not a particularly common word, but, as I say, editorially, a good word. It means, as it looks, “marked by inactivity or repose.” “tranquilly at rest,” and “causing no trouble or symptoms.”
