peace
Ease denotes freedom from cause of disturbance, whether external or internal. Quiet denotes freedom from agitation, or especially from annoying sounds. Rest is a cessation of activity especially of wearying or painful activity. Recreation is some pleasing activity of certain organs or faculties that affords rest to other parts of our nature that have become weary. Repose is a laying down, primarily of the body, and figuratively a similar freedom from toil or strain of mind. Repose is more complete than rest; a pause is a momentary cessation of activity; a black-smith finds a temporary rest while the iron is heating, but he does not yield to repose; in a pause of battle a soldier rests on his arms; after the battle the victor reposes on his laurels. Sleep is the perfection of repose, the most complete rest; slumber is a light and ordinarily pleasant form of sleep. In the figurative sense, rest of mind, soul, conscience, is not mere cessation of activity, but a pleasing, tranquil relief from all painful and wearying activity; repose is even more deep, tranquil, and complete.

Définition of peace
Origin :
- mid-12c., «freedom from civil disorder,» from Anglo-French pes, Old French pais «peace, reconciliation, silence, permission» (11c., Modern French paix), from Latin pacem (nominative pax) «compact, agreement, treaty of peace, tranquility, absence of war» (source of Provençal patz, Spanish paz, Italian pace), from PIE *pag-/*pak- «fasten,» related to pacisci «to covenant or agree» (see pact).
- Replaced Old English frið, also sibb, which also meant «happiness.» Modern spelling is 1500s, reflecting vowel shift. Sense in peace of mind is from c.1200. Used in various greetings from c.1300, from Biblical Latin pax, Greek eirene, which were used by translators to render Hebrew shalom, properly «safety, welfare, prosperity.»
- Sense of «quiet» is attested by 1300; meaning «absence or cessation of war or hostility» is attested from c.1300. As a type of hybrid tea rose (developed 1939 in France by Francois Meilland), so called from 1944. Native American peace pipe is first recorded 1760. Peace-officer attested from 1714. Peace offering is from 1530s. Phrase peace with honor first recorded 1607 (in «Coriolanus»). The U.S. Peace Corps was set up March 1, 1962. Peace sign, both the hand gesture and the graphic, attested from 1968.
