Question

pacify It took the police hours to pacify the angry demonstrators. ˈpæsəˌfaɪ

Accepted Answer

(1) To soothe anger or agitation. (2) To subdue by armed action. Someone stirred up by a strong emotion can usually be pacified by some kind words and the removal of its causes. Unhappy babies are often given a rubber pacifier for sucking to make them stop crying. During the Vietnam War, pacification of an area meant using armed force to drive out the enemy, which might be followed by bringing the local people over to our side by building schools and providing social services. But an army can often bring “peace” by pure force, without soothing anyone's emotions
