irenicadj.n.

Brit.

/ʌɪˈrɛnɪk/,

/aɪˈrɛnɪk/,

/aɪˈrinɪk/

Etymology: < Greek εἰρηνικός, < εἰρήνη peace. Compare eirenic adj. and French irénique (Littré). In this and irenical adj., the first pronunciation is that given by Smart, Ogilvie, and Cassell, and by Webster and the other American Dictionaries, and is in accordance with the general analogies of the language, as in academic, clinical, energetic, euphonic, Platonic, in which the long vowel of the Greek is uniformly shortened; but the modern use of the Greek Εἰρηνικόν, Eirēnicon, to which scholars naturally give the English academic pronunciation of Greek, affects the derivatives also, and makes the second pronunciation frequent among university men.

A. adj.

Pacific, non-polemic; = irenical adj.
