Pacifism is derived from the word passive, but has developed a more specialized meaning, relating directly to avoidance or rejection of war itself.The word "pacifism" has nothing to do with the word "passive". "Pacifism" is related to the latine word "pacificus", while "passive" is related to the latin word "passivus" which have different meanings.
