If a person, a party, or a plan is dovish, they would rather talk and keep the peace than fight or reach for force. The picture is the dove, the bird people have long used as a sign of peace: a 'dove' in wants discussion; dovish is the adjective. You hear it in newspapers and in talk about governments and war. Though actually, it has stretched: people also call a central banker dovish when they prefer cheaper, easier money and are less eager to slam the brakes on the economy — the same 'softer, less aggressive' idea, moved into money. It is a -and-news word, not a word for a shy or gentle friend in daily life.
鴿派的（主張和解、談判；相對「鷹派」）
組成dove（鴿子，和平的象徵）+ -ish（「像……的」）。
同家族的字
- dove那隻代表和平的鳥；政治裡的 dove 主和，dovish 就是那種立場
