Conciliate

/kənˈsɪlieɪt/ verb

Definition

To end a disagreement or dispute by bringing opposing parties together and helping them reach agreement.

Etymology

From Latin conciliatus, past participle of conciliare (to bring together, unite, reconcile). The root breaks into con- (together) and -ciliare, possibly from -cilus (eyelash), metaphorically meaning to bring close together.

Kelly Says

When you conciliate, you're literally performing the root meaning: bringing people *together* (con-) until they're as close as eyelashes. Ancient Romans used this word for diplomatic peace negotiations, and it's still the language of international relations.
