facilitate
Meaning
To facilitate is to make a process or action easier or more achievable by providing assistance, resources, or guidance, often implying an active role in removing obstacles or enhancing efficiency in a given context.
💡 While "facilitate" is often used in formal contexts, it is important to avoid confusion with "enable," which implies granting the ability to do something rather than merely making it easier.
