mitigate
의미: To make something less severe, harmful, or painful; to reduce the negative effects of something.
Mitigate is essential vocabulary in legal, environmental, risk management, and policy contexts. In law, 'mitigating circumstances' or 'mitigating factors' are reasons that make an offence less serious. In environmental policy, 'mitigation' refers to actions taken to reduce the severity of climate change. The common error 'mitigate against' is widely considered incorrect — the correct form is simply 'mitigate.' Common collocations include 'mitigate risk,' 'mitigate the effects,' and 'mitigating factors.'
