Syn :
To cover ;
cloak ;
hide ;
extenuate ;
conceal .
Usage :
To {
Palliate }, {
Extenuate }, {
Cloak }.
These words ,
as here compared ,
are used in a figurative sense in reference to our treatment of wrong action .
We cloak in order to conceal completely .
We extenuate a crime when we endeavor to show that it is less than has been supposed ;
we palliate a crime when we endeavor to cover or conceal its enormity ,
at least in part .
This naturally leads us to soften some of its features ,
and thus palliate approaches extenuate till they have become nearly or quite identical . "
To palliate is not now used ,
though it once was ,
in the sense of wholly cloaking or covering over ,
as it might be ,
our sins ,
but in that of extenuating ;
to palliate our faults is not to hide them altogether ,
but to seek to diminish their guilt in part ." --
Trench .
