Definition of pacifier

2 senses · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

  1. Someone or something that pacifies.
    “Many people have failed to see the political significance of the women's music movement, for they categorize all of music as part of the cultural periphery that distracts people from real social injustices. However, far from being a pacifier, women's music has presented an experience which contrasts with the social inequities of our culture's traditionally male-dominated music.”
