Why “consopite” is a great word

CONSOPITE — [Verb] To lull to sleep or induce profound quietude. From Latin cōnsōpītus, past participle of cōnsōpīre, from con- (intensive) + sopīre ("to put to sleep"), from sopor ("deep sleep"). Unlike "sedate," which implies a clinical, chemical calm, or "soporify," which conjures a leaden stupor, to consopite suggests a gentler, more encompassing pacification. It is the weight of a heavy quilt on a restless body, the rhythmic shush of rain against a windowpane, or the deliberate stroke of a hand through fur until the world softens at its edges—a quiet victory where wakefulness is gently persuaded to surrender.
