Dispeaceful

/dɪsˈpiːsfəl/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by lack of peace; full of discord, conflict, or unrest.

Etymology

From dispeace + -ful (full of). This archaic adjective was formed using the productive -ful suffix to describe something marked by the absence of peace.

Kelly Says

By adding -ful to 'dispeace,' medieval English speakers created a word to describe turbulent times and troubled relationships. We might just say 'peaceful' with a negative in front now!
