अपीज़ में peace भी है और please भी। पापा नाराज़ हों तो आप peace लाने के लिए बार-बार ‘please, please’ बोलते हो — माँग मानकर शांत करना = appease। Pacify और placate इसके साथी हैं।

Appease has both peace and please in it. When father is angry, you keep saying ‘please, please’ to bring back peace. Making someone calm by giving them what they want is to appease. Pacify and placate are its partners.
