Isn’t אֲשַׁלֵּם “reward?” and נָקָם “vengeance?”

Dear Listees,
Deut 32:41 reads, אָשִׁיב נָקָם לְצָרָי, וְלִמְשַׂנְאַי אֲשַׁלֵּם
This may not be new to many, but I find it interesting that see the last word in the stitch, i.e. אֲשַׁלֵּם , root,שלם so often used to denote peace is being used here in totally non-peaceful terms as: “to requite/ revenge, repay”?
What are you thoughts on this please?
Many thanks,
Philip Engmann
