Explanation
The word cure can be both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it means a treatment that removes an illness or problem, like medicine for a disease. As a verb, it means to make someone healthy again or to fix a problem. Cures are often linked to medicine, but they can also refer to solving other issues in life (like “curing loneliness” by making friends). People often search for cures for diseases, bad habits, or difficulties. A cure does not only mean healing but also completely removing the cause of the problem.
