Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Aggravate के अंदर grave (गंभीर) देखिए। बात को और grave बना देना — गुस्सा और भड़का देना या problem और बिगाड़ देना — यही aggravate है। इसका ठीक उल्टा alleviate।

See GRAVE (serious) inside AGGRAVATE. To aggravate is to make a matter more grave — to make someone angrier or a problem worse. Its exact opposite is alleviate.

Exam note

'गुस्सा दिलाना' वाले sense में infuriate, exasperate, irk, antagonise; 'और बिगाड़ना' वाले में intensify, exacerbate। Alleviate, allay, pacify, assuage, mitigate इसके antonym।

In the 'make angry' sense, infuriate, exasperate, irk and antagonise are synonyms; in the 'make worse' sense, intensify and exacerbate. Alleviate, allay, pacify, assuage and mitigate are antonyms.
