1. fix, restore, retouch.
Mend, darn, patch mean to repair something and thus renew its
usefulness. Mend is a general expression that emphasizes the idea of
making whole something damaged: to mend a broken dish, a tear in an apron.
Darn and patch are more specific, referring particularly to repairing
holes or rents. To darn is to repair by means of stitches interwoven
with one another: to darn stockings.
To patch is to cover a hole or rent (usually) with a piece or pieces of
similar material and to secure the edges of these; it implies a more
temporary or makeshift repair than the others: to patch the knees of trousers, a rubber tire. 2. rectify, amend, emend. 3. ameliorate, meliorate. 4. heal, recover, amend.
