Question

armistice Ambassadors from three neighboring countries were trying to arrange an armistice between the warring forces. ˈɑrməstəs

Accepted Answer

An agreement to stop fighting a war; a truce. Just as the solstice is the time of year when the sun (Latin, sol) “stands still,” an armistice is an agreement for armies to stop where they are and lay down their arms. The word is associated with the truce that marked the end of World War I on the Western Front, where the Allies had confronted Germany, in 1918. The day of the ceasefire, November 11th (“the eleventh day of the eleventh month”), was for many years called Armistice Day; today it's known as Veterans Day in the U.S. and as Remembrance Day in Canada and Australia
