Origin & History

From Middle English via Old French abatre/abattre, ultimately from Late Latin battere (“to beat”); sense developed to “beat down, reduce.”

यह शब्द मध्य अंग्रेज़ी में पुरानी फ्रेंच abatre/abattre से आया, जिसकी जड़ लेट लैटिन battere (“मारना/पीटना”) में है; अर्थ विकसित होकर “दबाकर कम करना/घटाना” हुआ।

Definition

To reduce in strength, amount, or intensity; to make something (often something harmful or unpleasant) less severe, or to become less severe on its own.

तीव्रता, मात्रा या प्रभाव में कमी आना/करना; किसी (अक्सर अप्रिय/हानिकारक) चीज़ को कम गंभीर बनाना, या स्वयं कम हो जाना।
