Definition
The act or process of calming, soothing, or reducing something painful or unpleasant.
Etymology
From 'assuage' plus '-ment' (result or product of an action). This noun form emphasizes the outcome of soothing or easing.
Kelly Says
Medieval and Renaissance literature obsesses over 'assuagement'—the idea that kind words, art, or time can bring relief from suffering became a central theme in poems about love, loss, and consolation.
