|
elimination (Often implies removal of the threat, sometimes permanently.)
Mga kasalungat
activation (Making something operational rather than ineffective.)
|
reinforcement (Strengthening a force rather than reducing it.)

acid–base reaction to form salts
In chemistry, neutralization happens when an acid and a base react together.
Padron ng paggamit:
neutralization of [acid] with [base]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Neutralization does not always mean the final solution has pH 7 (for example, strong acid + weak base may not be neutral).
Mga kasingkahulugan
acid-base reaction (Broader term; not all acid-base reactions fully neutralize.)
Mga kasalungat
acidification (Making something more acidic rather than neutralizing it.)
|
alkalization (Making something more basic rather than neutralizing it.)

blocking a toxin or virus
In biology, neutralization means stopping a virus or toxin from working, often using antibodies.
Padron ng paggamit:
neutralization of [virus/toxin] by [antibodies]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Do not confuse neutralization (blocking activity) with sterilization (killing/removing all microbes).
Mga kasingkahulugan
inactivation (General term for making an agent unable to function.)
|
blocking (Emphasizes preventing entry or action rather than destroying.)
Mga kasalungat
activation (Making a biological agent active rather than blocked.)
|
sensitization (Increasing responsiveness rather than reducing effect.)

loss of a sound contrast
In linguistics, neutralization is when two different sounds become the same in a certain position.
Padron ng paggamit:
neutralization of [contrast] in [context]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Neutralization is about context-specific merging; it does not mean the sounds never contrast in the language.
Mga kasingkahulugan
merger (in context) (Informal description; neutralization stresses that the merger is limited to a specific environment.)
Mga kasalungat
contrast (Maintaining distinct sounds rather than merging them.)
|
differentiation (Becoming more distinct instead of identical.)

removing exposure to a risk factor
In finance, neutralization means changing a portfolio so a certain risk does not affect it.
Padron ng paggamit:
neutralization of [exposure/risk]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Neutralization reduces exposure to a specific factor; it does not necessarily remove all risk.
Mga kasingkahulugan
hedging (Often uses an offsetting position; neutralization can be broader than a hedge.)
|
risk offsetting (Highlights balancing one risk with another position.)
Mga kasalungat
taking exposure (Choosing to be affected by a factor rather than neutralizing it.)
|
leveraging (Increasing sensitivity to a factor instead of reducing it.)
