mitigate

I like the way this word sounds; the way it rolls off the lips. Its meaning, too, makes me feel good. I mean, what is better than a word that implies relief, right? Usually it's used to talk about things that make a bad situation bearable. But it can certainly be used to refer to stuff that make good situations worse - except we usually don't use it that way.
