1. 1
   adj

   not intended or likely to end disagreement or restore goodwill; unwilling to compromise

Formed from un-, 'not,' + conciliatory. Conciliatory derives from Latin conciliare, 'to bring together, unite, or win over,' so the negative adjective describes words or conduct that do not seek reconciliation.
