记忆方法
1、quiet 来自拉丁 quiēs"静止、休息"：安静的本义是"停下来歇着"。这家分叉多：quit（离开、辞职）、quite（很、完全）、while（一会儿，本义"一段时间"）、tranquil（平静的）尾节，全是同一支的后代。
2、读音陷阱：qui- 读 /kwaɪ/，圆唇 u 别丢；quiet（/ˈkwaɪ.ət/ 两三个音节）与 quite（/kwaɪt/ 一个音节）只差结尾 e，意思毫不相干。
3、"静"的分工：silent（沉默的、不出声）强调一点声响没有，calm 指水面或情绪平静，still 指纹丝不动，quiet 最常用——没有喧闹和骚动。Keep quiet. 是课堂口令。

英语词源
- quiet
-
quiet: [14] The Latin noun quiēs meant ‘quiet’ (it came from a prehistoric Indo-European base *qwi- ‘rest’, which also produced English while and the final syllable of tranquil). From it was derived the verb quiēscere ‘be still’ (source of English quiescent [17]). Its past participle quiētus has given English quiet (and its Siamese twin coy), quit, and quite, not to mention the derived forms acquit and requite.
=> acquit, coy, quit, quite, requite, tranquil, while - quiet (adj.)
- late 14c., "peaceable, at rest, restful, tranquil," from Old French quiet and directly from Latin quietus "calm, at rest, free from exertion," from quies (genitive quietis) "rest" (see quiet (n.)). As an adverb from 1570s. Related: Quietly; quietness.
- quiet (n.)
- c. 1300, "freedom from disturbance or conflict; calm, stillness," from Old French quiete "rest, repose, tranquility" and directly from Latin quies (genitive quietis) "a lying still, rest, repose, peace," from PIE root *kweie- (2) "to rest, be quiet" (cognates: Old Persian shiyati-, Avestan shaiti- "well-being;" Avestan shyata- "happy;" Gothic hveila, Old English hwil "space of time;" see while (n.)). Late 14c. as "inactivity, rest, repose."
- quiet (v.)
- late 14c., "subdue, lessen," from quiet (adj.) and in part from Latin quietare. From mid-15c. as "to make silent, cause to be quiet;" intransitive sense of "become quiet, be silent" is from 1791. Related: Quieted; quieting.
