/inkjeˈtante/ · B2 · adj

worrying

😟 inquietante = in- (not) + quiet → not calm, leaves you uneasy

Spanish inquietante comes from inquieto, meaning restless or not quiet (in- + quieto). Something inquietante takes away your calm, so it is worrying or disturbing. Compare English inquiet, an old word for uneasy.
