Why this word is great

DISEMBITTER — [Verb] To free from bitterness or resentment. Formed within English from the prefix dis- (expressing reversal) and the verb embitter (to make bitter). Unlike "appease," which placates an external anger, or "sweeten," which adds a superficial pleasantness, to disembitter is to perform a precise, interior alchemy upon the soul's own poisons. It is the slow letting of a grudge evaporate, the cautious unbending of a clenched heart, or the patient filtration of a memory until it loses its aftertaste of gall—a quiet victory over the past's claim to permanently sour the present.
