"Plainclothes" and "Therapeutic" are both words that fit the definition, it's a bit cruel to ask for significantly more obscure versions of these words.

I'd strongly argue that "Sympathetic" fits the definition for "Softhearted" seeing as the first defintion of sympathy is: feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.

Also "Pantheism" appears in its own defintion.

“Plainclothes” refers to civilian clothes worn in lieu of a uniform, not to the person wearing them in lieu of a uniform (as required by the definition).

The definition “In a curative manner” is expecting an adverb as its answer, not an adjective. “Curative” is an adjective for which “therapeutic” might be an appropriate answer, since “therapeutic” is also an adjective. The sentence “Brunhilde applied the eucalyptus leaves to Siegfried’s wounds therapeutic” demonstrates that the two words are not interchangeable.

I’m on the fence about “sympathetic.” I purposely didn’t include it because I had already used “empathetic.” But more importantly, I can’t find a definition of “sympathetic” that states or implies that one must be easily moved to sympathy in order to be considered sympathetic. I will consider this further, but can’t make any promises.

“Pantheism” is fixed. Thanks.
