Mitigate - English editing.

The verb mitigate and militate do not mean the same thing, although their similarity leads to them being often confused. Mitigate means ‘to make less severe’, as in drainage schemes have helped to mitigate this problem, while militate is nearly always used in constructions with against to mean ‘be a powerful factor in preventing’, as in these disagreements will militate against the two communities coming together.
