To make a process or action easier or more likely to happen.
From French “faciliter,” from Latin “facilis” meaning “easy to do,” which is from “facere” meaning “to make” or “to do.” The word literally means “to make easy.”
When you “facilitate,” you’re not doing everything—you’re removing friction so others can do it more easily. A good teacher or leader is often more of a facilitator than a controller, quietly shaping the path instead of walking it for you.
