scottobearirenic \eye-REN-ik; -REE-nik\, adjective:
Tending to promote peace; conciliatory.
Irenic comes from Greek eirenikos, from eirene, "peace."
potatory \POH-tuh-tor-ee\ adjective
Pertaining to or given to drinking.
From Latin potatorius, from Latin potatus, past participle of potare, to drink.
The word potatory has little to do with potatoes, unless the drink in question happens to be aquavit. Two more familiar cousins of today's word are potion and potable.
