English translation

[edit]

According to ngram, the word "alleviate" is 30 times more common than "palliate". That's quite a difference. The word "palliate" is on a downward slide to obsolescence if it hasn't already entered that territory. Perhaps in advanced medical literature it's still a common word, that might be plausible.
