Peace Piece Whats in a word

Lisa fell down a rabbit hole of Etymology yesterday, and it definitely spiked my interest.  If there is one thing that weve learned through this journey, its that many words that we use regularly, dont mean what we think they mean.  The journey of discovery starts with the language we speak and read, and fully comprehending the actual definitions of words gives us a huge insight into the world around us, and the agendas that are being perpetuated.


The word we are looking at today is:


Peace

Lisa brought it up, and I asked two of the most word savvy people I know - Arthur and Gary-  to dig in and give me their perspectives.

Here is Lisas original message to me:

ok, so with the POPE and AGENDA 30 making references to PEACE i felt that looking at the etymology of the word was in order. Follow the links to connected words to get the full picture.

peace (n.)

mid-12c., "freedom from civil disorder," from Anglo-French pes, Old French pais "peace, reconciliation, silence, permission" (11c., Modern French paix), from Latin pacem (nominative pax) "compact, agreement, treaty of peace, tranquility, absence of war" (source of Provençal patz, Spanish paz, Italian pace), from PIE *pag-/*pak- "fasten," related to pacisci "to covenant or agree" (see pact).

pact (n.)

early 15c., from Old French pacte "agreement, treaty, compact" (14c.), from Latin pactum "agreement, contract, covenant," noun use of neuter past participle of pacisci "to covenant, to agree, make a treaty," from PIE root *pag- "fix, join together, unite, make firm" (cognates: Sanskrit pasa- "cord, rope," Avestan pas- "to fetter," Greek pegnynai "to fix, make firm, fast or solid," Latin pangere "to fix, to fasten," Slavonic paž "wooden partition," Old English fegan "to join," fon "to catch seize").

and my message to Arthur and Gary:

Etymology of the word "Peace"  ...... can you take a look at the deeper aspect to this?  Id love your opinions as it pertains to all that were hearing right now about "Peace" by the Vatican and UN et al

and their responses:

Art:

phonetically .... peace.... piece.... divide and conqueor....

: i shall look into it
[14:03:47] D.Breakingthesilence .: thank you love

the better word is safe

safe (adj.) Look up safe at Dictionary.com

c. 1300, "unscathed, unhurt, uninjured; free from danger or molestation, in safety, secure; saved spiritually, redeemed, not damned;" from Old French sauf "protected, watched-over; assured of salvation," from Latin salvus "uninjured, in good health, safe," related to salus "good health," saluber "healthful," all from PIE solwos from root sol- "whole" (cognates: Latin solidus "solid," Sanskrit sarvah "uninjured, intact, whole," Avestan haurva- "uninjured, intact," Old Persian haruva-, Greek holos "whole").

As a quasi-preposition from c. 1300, on model of French and Latin cognates. From late 14c. as "rescued, delivered; protected; left alive, unkilled." Meaning "not exposed to danger" (of places) is attested from late 14c.; of actions, etc., "free from risk," first recorded 1580s. Meaning "sure, reliable, not a danger" is from c. 1600. Sense of "conservative, cautious" is from 1823. Paired alliteratively with sound (adj.) from late 14c. The noun safe-conduct (late 13c.) is from Old French sauf-conduit (13c.).
this is why the department of public safety is also the department of corrections
correct the records as you are assured of being safe

Gary:

Peace and its phonetic synonuym piece are most definitely spell words. From this 1s perspective they highlight collective ignorance about the facts of micro and macro, self vs public in relationship to man-made ideas, concepts, perspectives, and language vs nature. For peace to be possible require the first existence of a waring divided-condition or one which is in pieces.
