Can something be "fully mitigated"? [closed]

In my work I often see the term "fully mitigated". This does not seem correct to me. If mitigate means to reduce or lessen then can anything ever be fully mitigated? Would a more correct term be remediated?


Solution 1:

Apparently, yes.

  1. To make less severe or intense; moderate or alleviate. See Synonyms at relieve.

Fully mitigated, meaning fully alleviated (relieved), makes sense.
