Study notes

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 和睦 (わぼく) is an action noun for opposing sides ending conflict and agreeing to peaceful relations.
  • Basic usage: 両国は和睦した reports two countries making peace after a long war, while 和睦の条件 uses the settlement to specify the terms carried by a messenger.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Making peace and terms of peace
    • 和睦した predicates that the parties made peace, whereas 和睦の条件 names content required for that settlement. The letter bearing the terms is not itself the act of reconciliation.
