Can an adjective be used as a verb demand? Like "tranquilo" meaning to relax?

Example: Tranquilo, Don Valente, el muchacho ya está fuera de peligro.

Relax, Mr. Valente, the boy is already out of danger.

Well, this is not an adjective transformed into a verb, no, it is short for:

Esté tranquilo, don Vicente.

I don't know if it is proper Spanish, but tranquilo is used as a command.
