No, not French. It was originally classical Latin and it was pronounced pa-kem.
In medieval (Church) Latin it changed to pa-chem.
"princips" :-) Using classical Latin pronunciation, "PREEN-keps "PAH-kiss."
Using Ecclesiastical pronunciation, I think it's "PREEN-cheps PAH-chiss."

Of peace
The Latin word for "peace" is pax (pacis, f.). How you translate it in any given instance depends on the grammatical context. For example, "Prince of peace" (Isaiah 9:6) is Pinceps pacis, where pax occurs in its genitive singular form pacis ("of peace").
Janua sum pacis means the peace door.
Harmony in latin is: consensio or Harmonia like the Greek Goddess of Harmony.Harmonious is: consonum.Another relation to Harmony is peace which is: paxpacis.Pax is nominative whilst pacis is genitive. Both can be used for peace but pax pacis is literally: Peace of peace.
The word peace evolved through time from the Latin word, pacem. Pacem meaning a treaty, or absence from war. See the related link for more.
