English (Autenrieth)

English (Strong)
probably from a primary verb eiro (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication, prosperity: one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.
English (Thayer)
εἰρήνης, ἡ (apparently from εἴρω, to join; (others from εἴρω equivalent to λέγω; Etym. Magn. 803,41; Vanicek, p. 892; Lob. Path. Proleg., p. 194; Benfey, Wurzellex. ii., p. 7)), the Sept. chiefly for שָׁלום; (from Homer down); peace, i. e.
1. a state of national tranquility; exemption from the rage and havoc of war: πολλή εἰρήνη, τά (WH text omits τά) πρός εἰρήνην, things that look toward peace, as an armistice, conditions for the restoration of peace αἰτεῖσθαι εἰρήνην, ἔχειν εἰρήνην, of the church free from persecutions, peace between individuals, i. e. harmony, concord: Buttmann, 125 (109)); ἐν εἰρήνη, where harmony prevails, in a peaceful mind, ὁδός εἰρήνης, way leading to peace, a course of life promoting harmony, μετ' εἰρήνης, in a mild and friendly spirit, ποιεῖν εἰρήνην, to promote concord, ζητεῖν, διώκειν, μετά πάντων added, τά τῆς εἰρήνης διώκειν, Buttmann, 95 (83); Winer s Grammar, 109 (103 f)). Specifically, good order, opposed to ἀκαταστασία, שָׁלום, security, safety, prosperity, felicity, (because peace and harmony make and keep things safe and prosperous): εἰρήνη καί ἀσφάλεια, opposed to ὄλεθρος, ἐν εἰρήνη ἐστι τά ὑπάρχοντα, αὐτοῦ, his goods are secure from hostile attack, ὕπαγε εἰς εἰρήνην, πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην לְשָׁלום לֵך depart into a place or state of peace; (cf. Buttmann, 184 (160))); πορεύεσθαι ἐν εἰρήνη, ὑπάγετε ἐν εἰρήνη, go in peace, i. e. may happiness attend you; ἀπολύειν τινα μετ' εἰρήνης, to dismiss one with good wishes, ἐν εἰρήνη, with my wish fulfilled, and therefore happy, ἀπολύω, 2a.); προπέμπειν τινα ἐν εἰρήνη free from danger, safe, לְך שָׁלום (εἰρήνη τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ, let peace, blessedness, come to this household, υἱός εἰρήνης, worthy of peace (cf. Winer s Grammar, § 34,3 N. 2; Buttmann, 161 f (141)), ἐλθέτω ἡ εἰρήνη ἐπ' αὐτόν, let the peace which ye wish it come upon it, i. e. be its lot, ἐπαναπαήσεται ἡ εἰρήνη ὑμῶν ἐπ' αὐτόν, ἡ εἰρήνη ὑμῶν πρός ὑμᾶς ἐπιστραφήτω, let your peace return to you, because it could not rest upon it, i. e. let it be just as if ye had not uttered the wish, the Messiah's peace: ὁδός εἰρήνης, the way that leads to peace (salvation), εἰρήνης ἐν οὐρανῷ, peace, salvation, is prepared for us in heaven, εὐαγγελίζεσθαι εἰρήνην, ἐν εἰρήνη namely, ὄντες; is used of those who, assured of salvation, tranquilly await the return of Christ and the transformation of all things which will accompany that event, πληροῦν πάσης ... εἰρήνης ἐν τῷ πιστεύειν, L marginal reading ἐν πιστεύειν εἰρήνη)); ἔχειν ἐν Χριστῷ εἰρήνην (opposed to ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ θλῖψιν ἔχειν), ἔχειν εἰρήνην πρός τόν Θεόν, with God, εἰρήνη πρός τινα, Plato, rep. 5, p. 465b.; cf. Diodorus 21,12; cf. Meyer on Romans , the passage cited; Winer's Grammar, 186 (175); 406 (379))); εὐαγγελίζεσθαι εἰρήνην, R G Tr marginal reading in brackets); τό εὐαγγέλιον τῆς εἰρήνης, εἰρήνην ἀφίημι κτλ., ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ Χριστοῦ, which comes, from Christ, θεοῦ; τοῦ Θεοῦ, Winer s Grammar, 186 (175)). Comprehensively, of every kind of peace (blessing), yet with a predominance apparently of the notion of peace with God, εἰρήνη is used — in the salutations of Christ after his resurrection, εἰρήνη ὑμῖν (לָכֶם שָׁלום, T omits; WH reject the clause); ὁ κύριος τῆς εἰρήνης, the Lord who is the author and promoter of peace, ὁ Θεός τῆς εἰρήνης Herzog iv., p. 596f under the words Friede mit Gott; Weiss, Biblical Theol. d. N. T. § 83b.; (Otto in the Jahrbb. fur deutsch. Theol. for 1867, p. 678ff; cf. Winer's Grammar, 549 (511)).
6. of the blessed state of devout and upright men after death (Romans 2:10.

Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: peace, time of peace (Il.), cf. Trümpy Fachausdrücke 183ff., later peace-treaty, in the LXX also (wish) of blessing as Hebraism (Wackernagel IF 31, 263f. = Kl. Schr. 2, 1240f.); as name of a goddess daughter of Zeus and Themis (Hes.).
Other forms: ἰράνα (Dor., Boeot., Arc. etc.), also ἰρήνα (Gort. IIa: χ[ἱ]ρήνας gen.; asp. sec.), ἰρείνα Thess.), εἰρήνα (Delph. IVa, Pi., B.), εἰράνα (NWGgr. etc.), εἴρηνα (Aeol., gramm.), Εἰρήνα, -άνη (EN, Lycia)
Compounds: As 1. member in εἰρηνο-ποιός (X.) a. o.
Derivatives: εἰρηναῖος peaceful (Hdt.), εἰρηνικός belonging to peace (Att. hell.; after πολεμικός; Chantraine, Études sur le vocab. grec 151); denomin. verb εἰρηνεύω keep peace, live in peace (Pl.) with εἰρήνευσις (Iamb.), εἰρηνέω id. (Arist., after πολεμέω). - On the Lacon. PN Ϝειράνα s. Kretschmer Glotta 7, 332, Bechtel Ἀντίδωρον 155.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The many dialect forms cannot be combined under one form but must be loans with incomplete adaptation (Leumann Hom. Wörter 277 w. n. 27). The original anlaut is perh. after a hesitating suggestion of Wackernagel IF 25, 327 n. 1 (Kl. Schr. 1023 a. 1) a in Ionic and elsewhere pronounced open ἰρ-, which was in Attic first rendered by ἐ-, later by εἰρ-; the Attic orthography became dominant. The meaning of -ρήνη, -ράνα etc. is uncertain; cf. Schwyzer 189. - No etymology; Pre-Greek origin is very prob. already because of the ending (Ἀθήνη, Μυκήνη etc.); thus e. g. Chantraine Formation 206). - Further see Brugmann and Keil Sächs. Ber. 68 : 3, 4 (1916); Kretschmer Glotta 10, 238f.; further Trümpy l.c.
