14世纪末,意为"固定在位置上",来源于古法语 dormant (12世纪),是 dormir"睡觉"的现在分词,源自拉丁语 dormire "睡觉",来自于源自于PIE根 *drem- "睡觉" (另见旧教会斯拉夫语 dremati "睡觉, 打瞌睡," 希腊语 edrathon "我睡觉",梵语 drati "睡觉")。
意思是"休息时处于平躺状态,头枕在前爪上"(描绘野兽的纹章),始于约1500年。意为"正在睡觉,熟睡",始于1620年代。"处于休息或不活动状态"的总体意义自1600年代以来一直存在。关于火山是从1760年开始的。

那些居住在火山周围的那不勒斯人从来不会像这座火山被熄灭时那样害怕,因为那时他们一直生活在对新的大喷发或更糟糕的地震的不断恐惧中。[摘自 Brice 的 "Grand Gazetter Or Topographic Dictionary" 中对于 "Vesuvius" 的条目,1760年]
