Usage Notes or Etymology
The term “reconciliation” derives from Latin reconciliatio, composed of the prefix 're-' (again) and the root conciliare (to bring together, to make friendly). The modern lexical form entered Indonesian via Dutch (e.g., 'reconciliatie') and English ('reconciliation'), largely through legal and administrative vocabulary during the colonial period and subsequent bureaucratic development. In Indonesian usage, “reconciliation” functions both as a technical term (e.g., bank reconciliation in accounting, legal and political procedures to resolve disputes) and as a normative/religious concept (e.g., sacramental reconciliation in Christian traditions or mediated peace processes). For everyday communication, lay equivalents such as 'making up' or 'peace' are more commonly used.
