medicine or treatment for illness

A medicine or treatment that helps make an illness better or less painful.

الگوی کاربرد: a remedy for [illness/symptom]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think 'remedy' always means a complete cure. In everyday English it is often used for something that only relieves symptoms (similar to 'treatment'). They may also overuse 'remedy' instead of the simpler and more common word 'medicine' in casual speech.
هم‌معنی‌ها
treatment (More general; can refer to any medical care, not only something that cures or relieves.) | cure (Suggests the illness is completely removed, while a remedy may only relieve symptoms.) | medicine (Refers specifically to drugs or substances; a remedy can also be a method like rest or exercise.)
متضادها

solution to a problem or difficulty

A way to fix a problem or bad situation.

الگوی کاربرد: a remedy for [problem/situation]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may overuse 'remedy' where 'solution' or 'fix' is more natural in everyday speech. 'Remedy' often sounds formal or written, especially in non-medical contexts.
هم‌معنی‌ها
solution (The most common general word; 'remedy' often sounds slightly more formal or careful.) | fix (More informal and concrete; 'remedy' is more formal and often used in writing or discussion.) | answer (Can sound less technical; 'remedy' can suggest careful or official action to correct something.)
متضادها
problem (A problem is what needs to be dealt with; a remedy is the way to deal with it.) | worsening (Worsening makes a situation more serious, while a remedy is meant to improve it.)

to correct a problem or fault

To fix or make a bad situation, mistake, or problem better.

الگوی کاربرد: to remedy [a problem/situation/error]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often avoid the verb 'remedy' and use 'fix' or 'solve' instead. This is not wrong, but 'remedy' is useful in more formal writing. Also, some learners say 'remedy about the problem'; the normal pattern is 'remedy the problem', without a preposition.
هم‌معنی‌ها
rectify (Very similar in formality; 'rectify' is slightly more technical and often used with 'error' or 'mistake'.) | correct (Stresses making something right; 'remedy' more strongly suggests dealing with negative effects.)
متضادها
worsen (To make a situation worse instead of better.) | exacerbate (A formal verb meaning to make a problem more serious, the opposite of 'remedy'.)

In legal language, an action or payment that a court uses to correct a wrong or protect someone’s rights.

الگوی کاربرد: a remedy for [a legal wrong]
اشتباه رایج:

هم‌معنی‌ها
redress (A formal legal term focusing on setting a wrong right, often used almost interchangeably with 'remedy'.) | damages (Refers specifically to money paid as a remedy; 'remedy' is the broader legal category.)
متضادها
