Hi there!
The word of the day is "Diminish"
It is a word i was half familiar with, but did not really know when or how to use properly.
It basically means to make something smaller or less important than it is.
Synonyms: lessen, reduce
A quick internet search also gave me these results:
The word can also be used in:
* Architecture: to give (a column) a form tapering inward from bottom to top.
* Music: to make (an interval) smaller by a chromatic half step than the corresponding perfect or minor interval.
* to detract from the authority, honor, stature, or reputation of; disparage.
Examples:
The strength of the army was greatly diminished by outbreaks of disease.
The drug's side effects should diminish over time.
Nothing could diminish the importance of his contributions.
Stay tuned for more!
