lubricated
Made less friction
Lubricated means coated or treated with a slippery substance to reduce friction: lubricated bearings, lubricated condoms.
Machinery runs smoothly when properly lubricated.
The word extends to anything made to flow more easily—a deal lubricated by bribes, a conversation lubricated by alcohol.
Informally, lubricated can mean drunk: He was pretty well lubricated by the third round.
