By substituting something else in the place of what is removed; to rectify. "Mar not the thing that can not be amended."

(Sir W. Scott) To amend a bill, to make some change in the details or provisions of a bill or measure while on its passage, professedly for its improvement. Synonym: To Amend, Emend, Correct, Reform, Rectify. These words agree in the idea of bringing things into a more perfect state. We correct (literally, make straight) when we conform things to some standard or rule; as, to correct proof sheets. We amend by removing blemishes, faults, or errors, and thus rendering a thing more a nearly perfect; as, to amend our ways, to amend a text, the draft of a bill, etc. Emend is only another form of amend, and is applied chiefly to editions of books, etc. To reform is literally to form over again, or put into a new and better form; as, to reform one's life. To rectify is to make right; as, to rectify a mistake, to rectify abuses, inadvertencies, etc. Origin: F. Amender, L. Emendare; e(ex) + mendum, menda, fault, akin to Skr. Minda personal defect. Cf. Emend, Mend. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
