Writers use “pacifying” to convey a process of calming conflict and soothing unrest, whether on a personal, social, or political level. In some texts it describes the gentle act of calming an agitated child or individual, as when a caregiver soothes a fussy baby ([1], [2]), while in other works it captures the more forceful or strategic efforts to subdue rebellious groups or quell public disturbances ([3], [4]). The word also extends into metaphorical or poetic realms, where it not only implies the suppression of discord but also the restoration of internal harmony and balance, as seen in descriptions of soothing influences and conciliatory actions ([5], [6]). This flexible use highlights the term’s ability to bridge intimate, domestic settings with broader societal or even historical struggles for stability and peace ([7], [8]).
