- Mollify – to reduce in intensity
Website: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mollify
I encountered the word by splitting the word “Moli” and “lify.” Moli was more familiar to me than lify. Putting the word together did not sound familiar however in the article I read, it made more sense. In the article, the sentence ended with mollify however the sentence after the word mollify, it slightly explains what it means but I had to think about it.
Example: The manager tried to mollify the angry workers by giving them longer breaks.
