pax
Era without warfare
Pax is a call for truce, especially among children during games: Pax! I need to tie my shoe.
The word comes from Latin for peace and appears in phrases like Pax Romana (Roman peace) and Pax Americana.
In British school slang, pax requests a temporary halt to roughhousing or competition.
