softener
Mineral-removing water treatment
A softener is something that makes a substance softer or less harsh.
Fabric softener reduces stiffness in laundry.
Water softeners remove minerals that cause hardness.
In speech, a softener is a word or phrase that cushions a statement: I added "perhaps" as a softener before giving my opinion.
