After my surprise on Sunday, I was relieved to see that the OED chose an appropriate word for today, namely “Armistice” (‘Originally: a suspension of hostilities; a (short) truce, a ceasefire. Later chiefly spec.: a total suspension of hostilities formally agreed on by the governments of warring parties, typically for the purposes of negotiation and as a prelude to a lasting state of peace. Also: a formal agreement by the governments of warring parties to effect such a situation’, OED).
Day #311 of a 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
