OBVIATED Meaning and Definition

  1. Obviated is a verb that refers to the act of eliminating or removing a problem, difficulty, or need. It encompasses the action of making something unnecessary, no longer relevant, or avoiding it altogether by taking preventive measures or finding a solution. This term is frequently employed in situations where an obstacle or hindrance is anticipated and successfully prevented.

    To obviate means to preclude the occurrence or necessity of something by foreseeing potential challenges and taking appropriate action to circumvent them. It involves the ability to anticipate and remove any potential hurdles or difficulties that may impede the achievement of a desired outcome.
