remedier

Remedier is a plural noun used in some European languages, notably Danish and Norwegian, to denote remedies or measures that alleviate, cure, or prevent problems. In English, the standard plural is remedies, and remedier appears mainly in translated texts or in language-specific contexts.

Origin and forms: Remedier comes from the Latin remedium via the French remède; in Danish and Norwegian, the singular is remedie and the plural remedier. The term is primarily literary or formal and is less common in contemporary English-language writing.

Usage: The word covers medicines, therapies, and other treatments in healthcare, as well as actions or measures taken to correct a defect or injustice in legal or regulatory contexts. In law, a remedy can be a relief granted by a court; in policy, remedier may refer to corrective actions such as standards, guidelines, or enforcement measures intended to rectify issues.

Limitations: The term is language-specific and can be confusing to readers unfamiliar with those languages. When writing in English, prefer remedies or remedial measures, unless quoting or translating a foreign source.
