Disestiflement

Disestiflement: noun. The act of making someone more comfortable or less stifled. Essentially this means to make one less restrained and more at ease with whatever it is that he may be doing. The word is most commonly used in the theatre and film business, where it is used on novice actors or actresses. For example the well-known Elizabeth Taylor enjoyed shouting: "Will you disestifle already? Goodness me, you look more uncomfortable than a sheep in a wool sweater." Especially at actors, who had never acted with her before.
