Arabic "peace" (6)

I believe the answer is:

salaam

(Other definitions for salaam that I've seen before include "Muslim form of salutation" , "An Oriental greeting meaning peace" , "Oriental salutation meaning peace" , "Muslim greeting signifying peace" , "Oriental greeting or homage" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
