Etymology: "Pacificisms" is the plural of "pacificism", a noun for a peaceful way of speaking or behaving, and the plural simply names more than one such instance or tendency. The base word "pacific" is an adjective meaning peaceful or tending to make peace, drawn from Latin "pacificus", "making peace", built from "pax" (peace) and "facere" (to make). The suffix "-ism" turns it into a noun for a doctrine, practice or habit, so "pacificism" names the habit of making peace, and its plural counts separate examples of it.
