rectification
Setting things straight
Rectification is the act of correcting or setting something right.
You might seek rectification of an error on your bill or rectification of a misunderstanding.
In technical contexts, rectification refers to converting alternating current to direct current, or in chemistry, purifying a substance through repeated distillation.
