The correct spelling is palliative.

It’s a medical word that describes care or treatment that eases pain and symptoms without curing the underlying disease.

A few quick tips to remember it:

  • It starts with pal- like “pal”.
  • Then -li- (pall-i-).
  • Then -ative at the end: palliative.

So written out: p a l l i a t i v e — “palliative”.
