Palliate \Pal"li*ate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Palliated}; p. pr. &       vb. n. {Palliating}.]       1. To cover with a mantle or cloak; to cover up; to hide.             [Obs.]                         Being palliated with a pilgrim's coat. --Sir T.                                                                               Herbert.          2. To cover with excuses; to conceal the enormity of, by             excuses and apologies; to extenuate; as, to palliate             faults.                         They never hide or palliate their vices. --Swift.          3. To reduce in violence; to lessen or abate; to mitigate; to             ease withhout curing; as, to palliate a disease.                         To palliate dullness, and give time a shove.                                                                               --Cowper.          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. [bd]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.[b8] --Trench.
