destressed
Made less prominent
Destressed describes something that has had stress removed—either literal mechanical stress or figurative tension.
In linguistics, a destressed syllable has lost its emphasis: the second syllable of "chocolate" is destressed in casual speech.
More commonly, destressed means relieved of psychological pressure: I feel so destressed after that massage.
The word overlaps with de-stressed and the verb destress.
