Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin 'alleviatus', the past participle of 'alleviare' (to lighten), combining 'ad-' (to) and 'levis' (light). It entered English in the 17th century through the verb 'alleviate', subsequently taking on the agent suffix '-or' to denote a person or thing that reduces the severity of something.
