/əˌliːvɪˈeɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of alleviation; multiple acts or instances of reducing severity, pain, or difficulty.

Etymology

Plural of alleviation, formed with regular -s ending to indicate multiple instances or types of relief.

Kelly Says

Saying 'alleviations' (plural) rather than 'alleviation' suggests we need many small kindnesses stacked together to handle real suffering—one relief is rarely enough.
