Etymology of PLACATED

The word "placated" is derived from the Latin word "placatus", which is the past participle of the verb "placare". "Placare" means "to calm, to appease, or to soothe". The Latin word "placare" is likely derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*plāk-", which means "to be flat". This root also gave rise to words such as "placid" (calm, tranquil), "placebo" (something that has a soothing effect), and "platitude" (a trite or unoriginal remark). Therefore, the word "placated" carries the sense of calming or pacifying someone or something.
