amend
Alter for improvement
Amend means to change something for the better, typically by correcting errors or making improvements.
You amend a document, a contract, or a law: Congress amended the bill to address privacy concerns.
To make amends is to compensate for a wrong you've done.
The Constitution has been amended twenty-seven times.
