- 1(品質)惡化的、劣化的；(人)受屈辱的
Degraded, from the verb degrade, describes something that has become worse, weaker, or lower in quality than it used to be — a degraded photo or video looks blurry or low-quality compared to the original; a degraded environment has been damaged and made less healthy over time. It can also describe how a person is treated: to degrade someone means to treat them in a way that removes their dignity and makes them feel worthless — 'a degrading job' or 'degrading treatment' is deeply disrespectful, not just unpleasant.
From the word’s history
degrade + -ed; compare French degré 'step'.
就是 degrade 加 -ed，可對照法文 degré「階梯」。
組成From Latin de- ('down') + gradus ('a step') — literally 'to step down.'
同家族的字
- gradeshares the same Latin root gradus, 'a step'
