Equiponderate

/ˌɛkwɪˈpɒndəreɪt/ verb

Definition

To balance equally or bring into a state of equal weight or importance.

Etymology

From Medieval Latin equiponderare, combining equi- (equal) and ponderare (to weigh). This verb form allows for the active process of achieving equal balance, distinct from the state noun.

Kelly Says

Equiponderate is the action verb—when you equiponderate two sides of an argument, you're actively making them weigh the same, like adjusting a balance scale until both sides hover at the same height!
