CilmeFrom Proto-Balto-Slavic *meiˀrás, from Proto-Indo-European *meyH-ró-s, whence also Latvian mīlēt (“to love”) (q.v.). The meaning changed from “soft, nice” to “calm, peaceful.” A minority opinion considers miers to be a borrowing from Slavic, but several factors (among which the intonation of this word) speak against it.

“slimniekam nepieciešams miers” — the patient needs peace, quiet
“traucēt mājas mieru” — disturb domestic tranquility
“būt mierā” — to be in, at peace (= satisfied; calm)
- declension-1, masculinepeace (the opposite of war)
“miera līgums” — peace treaty
