vb
to make or become better; improve
Usage: Ameliorate is often wrongly used where alleviate is meant. Ameliorate is properly used to mean `improve', not `make easier to bear', so one should talk about alleviating pain or hardship, not ameliorating it.
Brother Matt seeks ways to ameliorate his Wall Street life.
