To comfort or console someone in distress or sorrow.
From Latin 'consolatus,' past participle of 'consolari' (to comfort), formed from 'com-' (with) and 'solari' (to soothe).
This is essentially an archaic form of 'console,' but it appears in older literature and reminds us that the verb itself is quite old—Boethius wrote about consolation in the 6th century.
