Disembitter

/ˌdɪsɛmˈbɪtər/ verb

Definition

To free from bitterness; to sweeten emotionally or literally, or to remove bitter feelings.

Etymology

From dis- (reversal) + embitter (em- + bitter). Embitter means to make bitter or resentful, so disembitter reverses this emotional poisoning.

Kelly Says

This poetic word captures the idea of healing someone from anger or resentment—a psychological transformation that's deeply human but rarely named with its own word!
