v

When you make something possible, you enable it. Your good grades might enable you to get into your first-choice college. And a great teacher enabled you to get such good grades.
Enable has taken on the meaning of allowing or even helping someone continue to do something they really shouldn't.

While you might think she's being cool, a therapist might call her an enabler and give her part of the blame.
