What does TRUCE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A formal or informal agreement between opposing sides to stop fighting or arguing for a period of time, often before a lasting settlement.
Commanders arrange a truce so that both sides can pause combat, tend to the wounded, negotiate, or simply catch their breath without either side treating the pause as surrender. A truce differs from a full peace treaty because it usually addresses only the fighting itself and leaves the underlying dispute unresolved, which is why truces sometimes collapse and hostilities resume. Beyond warfare, people also speak of a truce between quarreling siblings or rival colleagues, extending the word to any temporary halt in a conflict.
How TRUCE is used
Used both formally for a military ceasefire and informally for any temporary halt in a personal or ongoing dispute.
- The two armies agreed to a truce for the holiday.
- A fragile truce held for only a few weeks.
- The siblings called a truce after their long argument.
- Negotiators worked to extend the truce into a lasting peace.
