These verbs mean to make something less severe or more bearable. To relieve is to make more endurable something causing discomfort or distress: «that misery which he strives in vain to relieve» (Henry David Thoreau).
Allay suggests at least temporary relief from what is burdensome or painful: «This music crept by me upon the waters, / Allaying both their fury and my passion / With its sweet air» (Shakespeare).
Alleviate connotes temporary lessening of distress without removal of its cause: «No arguments shall be wanting on my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortune» (Jane Austen).
To assuage is to soothe or make milder: assuaged his guilt by confessing to the crime. Lighten signifies to make less heavy or oppressive: legislation that would lighten the taxpayer’s burden. Mitigate and palliate connote moderating the force or intensity of something that causes suffering: «I … prayed to the Lord to mitigate a calamity» (John Galt).«Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing» (Ernest Hemingway).
