Placidity

" her only really comfort was when the child lay in the placidity of sleep."

Bantam Classic
Pg. 85

Im gonna guess that placidity has to do with a peacful state of mind perhaps.

  2. I've always connected placid to plastic, not only because they sound alike but because plastic is stiff, "unruffled" and "undisturbed". That's just something that helps me remember what it is.
