To "allay" means to make something, especially an unpleasant feeling such as fear, worry, or pain, less strong or easier to bear. It often describes actions like calming someone’s anxiety, easing doubts, or reducing suspicion or anger. The word is common in both everyday and formal English and is frequently used with nouns like "fears," "concerns," "worries," "pain," and "tension." When you allay something, you do not necessarily remove it completely, but you significantly lessen its intensity or impact, often through reassurance, clarification, or comforting actions.
