Mollify (ISBE)
DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD
mol´i - fı̄ (from רכך , rākhakh , "to be soft"): "To make soft," used in modern English only figuratively, as "His anger was mollified." English Versions of the Bible, however, uses the word literally in its two occurrences: Isaiah 1:6 , "wounds, and bruises ... neither bound up, neither mollified with oil"; The Wisdom of Solomon 16:12, "mollifying plaister." Neither occurrence of the word is changed by the Revised Version (British and American).
