To mitigate means to make something less severe, serious, or harmful. It is often used when talking about reducing negative effects, such as mitigating risks, damage, pain, or environmental impact. The action does not completely remove the problem, but softens its consequences or intensity. In legal and formal contexts, it can refer to circumstances or actions that lessen the gravity of an offense or the extent of liability. In everyday use, it commonly appears with words like "risks", "effects", "losses", and "problems", emphasizing measured and often planned reduction rather than total elimination.
