Is euphemism a synonym for understatment?
In a way. Euphemisms soften a harsh term while an understatement represents the original concept in a way that lessens its meaning. Sometimes these can overlap. For example, a person might refer to themselves as sick even though they are dying. However, most euphemisms such as passed away convey the full meaning of the word but present it in a much more gentle way.
