Question

rectify vt.改正；[化]精馏；[电]整流 (1) 请改正我帐单上的错误。(2) 船长不得不校正罗盘读数。(3) 他用精馏酒精清洗瓶子。(4) 二极管是将交流电整流成直流电的电子装置。 Looking at rectify and talking about what it means, "to correct, or set right," makes it tempting to think "correct-ify." Nothing genuinely word-rooted about it, but for remembering the meaning, correct and rectify work well together. "Correct-ify" would not be correct, though, because it isn't a word, at least nowadays. Let's rectify that: rectify means to correct, or adjust to make right.
