The earliest documented uses of the verb
placate in English date from the late 17th century. The word is derived from Latin
placatus, the past participle of
placare, and
placate still carries the basic meaning of its Latin ancestor: "to
soothe" or "to appease." Other
placare descendants in English are
implacable (meaning "not easily soothed or satisfied") and
placation ("the act of soothing or appeasing"). Even
please itself, derived from Latin
placēre ("to please"), is a distant relative of
placate.
