Obviate - To anticipate and prevent
Lets take the female gender, for example. When they go out together to a local bar or dance club they stay together as a group and look out for each others best interest. They see a gentleman of questionable character and prevent him from interacting with any woman in the group.
This is a style of obviation sorely lacking within my own group of friends. Alcohol, as you may or may not know, has a certain way of dulling the senses and softening the features of the opposite sex, who may in fact resemble more an NFL linebacker than a swimsuit model.
Upon realizing this my friends never fail to take action.
"Look at Chad flirting with that girl over there..."
"Wow. Her shoulders are broader than his are..."
"..."
"Let's buy him another shot."
