dilute
Make less concentrated
To dilute is to make something weaker by adding water or another substance: dilute the juice with water, dilute the paint until it flows smoothly.
The word extends to weakening anything: dilute someone's influence, dilute the impact of a message.
As an adjective, dilute describes something already weakened: a dilute solution, a dilute version of the original proposal.
