Cognate forms appear in other languages, such as relaksasi in Indonesian and Malay and relaksasyon in Turkish.
In psychology and health, relaxation refers to techniques designed to reduce physiological arousal and mental stress.
In physics, engineering and materials science, relaxation describes the return to a steady state after a perturbation.
In numerical analysis, relaxation methods are iterative algorithms for solving nonlinear equations or partial differential equations.
