Ameliorate

verb: to make better, to improve

I was able to ameliorate Nancy's homesickness by taking her to the movies and making her a pie.

While it was very unfortunate that the students charged the wrong furnace last Friday, I was able to ameliorate the situation by having beginners bag batch on Saturday and doing the right charge Saturday night.

Synonyms: amend, better, improve, pacify, upgrade
