Etymology: "Remediations" is the plural of "remediation," the noun for the act of correcting something that has gone wrong. That noun is the verb "remediate" with the suffix "-ion" added, and the suffix turns the verb into a noun for the action itself. The verb goes back through Latin "remedium," meaning "cure" or "remedy," which is built from "re-" and "mederi," "to heal." So the whole family is ultimately about healing.

Synonyms: corrections, rectifications, improvements
