Word of the Day for Sunday, November 1, 2009
irenic \eye-REN-ik; -REE-nik\,
adjective:
Tending to promote peace; conciliatory.
Irenic comes from Greek eirenikos, from eirene, “peace.”
Example:
Taylor was always irenic by temperament and desire, and his sensitivity to others enabled him to bring together and work with people of very diverse views.
