to correct
Usage Note
Enderezar literally means to make something straight — a bent nail, a crooked picture — but figuratively it means to set something right or correct a situation. The reflexive enderezarse is used for a person standing up straight or recovering composure. Do not confuse with endurecer (to harden), which looks similar.
Examples
"Enderezó el cuadro que estaba torcido."
Natural Translation
He straightened the picture that was crooked.
