undeceiving
Setting someone straight
Undeceiving is the act of freeing someone from a false belief or mistaken impression.
To undeceive is to correct an error, usually gently: I hated to undeceive her about his intentions.
The word implies the person being corrected was innocent in their misunderstanding rather than willfully ignorant.
