redress
意味: To remedy or set right an injustice, grievance, or imbalance. As a noun, compensation or reparation for a wrong suffered.
Redress is a formal word with strong associations with justice and fairness. The phrase 'redress the balance' is extremely common in British journalism and politics, meaning to correct an inequality or bias. As a noun, 'seek redress' is a legal phrase meaning to pursue compensation or correction through official channels. The word implies not just fixing a problem but restoring equity — it carries a moral dimension that 'fix' or 'correct' lack.
