Syllable Decomposition

calme

from the Occitan cauma, calma (dif=cauma, calma) borrowed from the ancient Greek καῦμα (kaûma), related to calma in Spanish, Catalan, Italian, and Portuguese. It is noted that calma ("absence of wind") is as old in the Iberian languages as in Italian, and these languages attest to the etymological sense of "intense heat", which is not the case in Italian.
