appeasev.

Brit. /əˈpiːz/, U.S. /əˈpiz/
Forms: Middle English apese, apayse, Middle English apaise, apeise, apees(e, Middle English–1500s apease, (1500s apeace); Middle English–1500s appese, Middle English–1600s appaise, 1500s appayse, appayze, Middle English– appease. See aphetic peach v.
Etymology: < Old French apese-r, apaisie-r, apeisie-r (modern apaiser ) to bring to peace, < à to + pais , peis , pes (modern paix ) < Latin pāc-em peace. Apaisier was thus a later formation from the same elements as apaier < Latin adpācāre (see apay v.), with a more literal sense. Already in 14th cent. aphetized as pese . In 15th cent. refashioned as app- , and in spelling reform of 16th cent. written appease . A form apeace v., assimilated to peace, occurs in 16th cent.
