Origin:
The word "alleviate" entered English in the 15th century via Old French from its Latin root. The Latin verb alleviāre was used figuratively to mean "to lighten a burden" or "to make someone lighter in spirit." It was originally used in a literal sense to refer to lightening a physical load.
Over time, "alleviate" came to be used more broadly to mean reducing any kind of burden or difficulty. It is now commonly used in medical, legal, and social contexts to describe measures taken to lessen suffering or distress.
