Literary writers employ "becalm" both literally and metaphorically to evoke a sense of stillness and tranquility. In its literal nautical sense, the term describes a vessel rendered motionless by a lack of wind, as in depictions of ships becalm'd on sultry seas or drifting without purpose [1, 2, 3, 4]. At the same time, authors extend its use to the metaphorical realm, where it serves to calm passions, moods, or even physical ailments—think of sleep or fever being quieted into a state of serene repose [5, 6, 7]. This dual usage enriches the word with connotations of both the natural world and the inner emotional landscape.
