deflator
Lets air out
A deflator is a statistical factor used to convert nominal values into real values by removing the effect of price changes.
Economists use deflators to measure what growth or output would look like with inflation stripped away: The GDP deflator showed prices rose 3% last year.
Outside economics, a deflator is anything that deflates—reducing pressure, enthusiasm, or inflated claims.
