    Pax is the Latin word for peace, and English borrowed it directly. You mostly meet it in set phrases like 'Pax Romana' (the long peaceful period under the Roman Empire) or 'Pax Americana'. In older British slang, kids also shouted 'Pax!' to call a truce and stop a fight or game for a moment. It's a rare word — you won't need it in daily conversation.

    和平（拉丁文借詞，如 Pax Romana）；(舊式英式兒語) 暫停、休戰
