peace
Calm after conflict
Peace is the absence of war or conflict, a state of calm and security.
Nations negotiate peace treaties; people seek peace of mind.
To make peace is to reconcile after a dispute.
Hold your peace means remain silent.
Rest in peace wishes tranquility to the dead.
To leave someone in peace is to stop bothering them.
Peace can also express a casual goodbye.
