Origin

The word dormant comes from Middle English , in the senses "fixed in position" and also "latent" , from Old French dormir, also from Latin dormiēns.

First known use was around 1500 referring to a resting situation, only in 1620 , people start using it for sleeping.

I'll end this post with a quote from one of Jay-Z's songs...

"I'd rather die enormous than live dormant.. "
