corrective
含义: Designed to correct or counteract something harmful, undesirable, or inaccurate.
Corrective functions as both an adjective and a noun. As an adjective, it describes actions taken to put right a problem — 'corrective action,' 'corrective measures,' 'corrective surgery.' As a noun, it can mean something that corrects a mistaken belief — 'the book serves as a useful corrective to popular myths.' The word implies a systematic, intentional remedy rather than a casual fix. It is standard in medical, business, and academic writing.
