rectified
Made accurate again
Rectified means corrected or set right.
A rectified error has been fixed; a rectified misunderstanding has been cleared up.
In technical contexts, rectified refers to electrical current converted from alternating to direct flow, or to alcohol purified through repeated distillation: rectified spirits.
The word implies something was wrong and has been made proper.
