facilitate
Significado: To make a process or action easier or more achievable, especially by providing the conditions, resources, or framework for it to happen.
Facilitate is a staple of professional and academic English, carrying connotations of enabling without directly controlling. A facilitator helps a discussion proceed but does not dictate its outcome. The word is common in education, diplomacy, and project management. Critics sometimes view it as vague corporate jargon when used to avoid specifying exactly what was done. In legal contexts, 'facilitate' can have negative connotations — facilitating a crime.
