over-relieved; or too much tension was removed Explanation: I often have trouble with this word, too. Often you must re-structure your sentence: To much tension was removed from etc. Or: Too much load was removed from etc. |

10 mins confidence:
relief Explanation: 'Entlastung' in this context could mean 'relief'. 'Entlastung' as 'Minderung der Belastung', as the Concise Oxford-Duden German dictionary has it. I hope this helps. All the best. |
