armisticen.

Brit.

/ˈɑːmᵻstɪs/, U.S.

/ˈɑrməstəs/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French armistice.

Etymology: < French armistice (1673 or earlier) < post-classical Latin armistitium (1335 in a Scottish source in an isolated attestation; frequently from 1610) < classical Latin arma arms (see arms n.) + -stit- , past participial stem of sistere to stand (see sist v.) + -ium (see -y suffix⁴).

a. Originally: a suspension of hostilities; a (short) truce, a ceasefire. Later chiefly spec.: a total suspension of hostilities formally agreed on by the governments of warring parties, typically for the purposes of negotiation and as a prelude to a lasting state of peace. Also: a formal agreement by the governments of warring parties to effect such a situation.Armistice, truce, and ceasefire have been used at different periods with varying degrees of overlap. In current international law, armistice is more narrowly defined than truce and ceasefire, in being a temporary (but total) suspension of hostilities by agreement between the governments of warring parties, normally (but not necessarily) for the purposes of negotiation. A total surrender may also be described as an armistice for legal purposes. Cf. ceasefire n. 2.In quot. a1734 as a mass noun.
