Definition
The act or state of reducing or eliminating grief, sorrow, or lamentation.
Etymology
From de- (removal) + dolation (from Latin 'dolere,' to grieve). An archaic or obsolete term appearing in older English texts, particularly from the medieval period.
Kelly Says
This is an archaic word you'll find in old poetry and religious texts, describing the process of moving past grief. It's the opposite of 'dolor'—the deep sorrow that medieval writers loved to write about.
