What does apease mean?

"Appease" means to make someone less angry or hostile by giving them what they want. It often implies giving in to demands, even if they are unreasonable or unfair, to avoid conflict or confrontation.

Here are some examples:

* "The government appeased the rebels by granting them amnesty." This suggests the government gave in to the rebels' demands to avoid further violence.

* "He appeased his wife by buying her flowers." This implies he was trying to make her happy after an argument.

* "The company appeased its customers by offering refunds." This means they gave in to customer complaints to avoid negative publicity.

In a negative context, "appease" can imply weakness or giving in to pressure. It can also suggest that the person being appeased will not be satisfied in the long run.
