Word of the Day

July 2nd, 2007

ameliorate

a·mel·io·rate [uh-meel-yuh-reyt, uh-mee-lee-uh-]

–verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -rat·ed, -rat·ing.

to make or become better, more bearable, or more satisfactory; improve; meliorate.

Why? Because I spent the entire day (on and off) trying to remember if it meant to improve or worsen. It happens sometimes.
