Word of the Day: Ameliorate

Awkward is my Superpower
Ameliorate: to make or become better, more bearable, or more satisfactory; improve

The WPA and CCP helped ameliorate many families' poverty during Depression-era job losses.

p.s. This word was frequently used in my home when I was growing up, but I've rarely heard it over the past 40 years.
