Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin word 'alleviare', formed from the prefix 'ad-' (to) and 'levis' (light, as in weight), meaning to make light or lighten. Entering the English language in the early 16th century, the verb originally retained a literal sense of physical lightening before shifting primarily to the figurative sense of lessening pain, hardship, or problems.
