Nir + Udaya
"non-arising"
I had a look at the pali text society dictionary and couldnt find anything that indicated the rodha part should actually be udaya.
I found this here,
http://thewholeworks.blogspot.co.nz/...le-truths.html
I don't know how reliable it is
Nirodha-- ‘confine’; rodha means ‘earth bank’ or ‘enclosure’; ni means ‘down’;
(not nir-rodha meaning ‘out of prison’) As for the OP I think the difference between cessation and appeasement is the former could be something that has just stopped (maybe spontainiously) whereas the latter suggests a process of actively making it stop, which is better would depend on the emphasis that is desired.
