A truce is a fragile pause rather than a permanent resolution. It carries a sense of precariousness, suggesting that while the violence has stopped, the underlying hostility remains unresolved and the fighting could resume at any moment. It is a pragmatic tool used for strategic recovery or humanitarian needs. In social or domestic settings, the word takes on a slightly ironic or exhausted tone. When parents or siblings call a truce, it often implies they are too tired to keep arguing, rather than having reached a genuine emotional reconciliation.

Countable when referring to a specific negotiated agreement between two parties. Uncountable when referring to the general state of ceased hostilities.
