Etymology

Inherited from Old French: serein

Inherited from Latin: serescō

In summary

Inherited from Old French serein, probably from seri (“calm, mild”), serrit (with a change of suffix influenced by Latin serēnus), from a verb deriving from Latin serēscere (“grow dry”), itself from or related to serēnus (“cloudless”), by extension "calm, peaceful".
