How to use "Derelict" in context?
What does the word derelict mean?
Derelict usually refers to a building or structure that is in a state of abandonment or neglect. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as a property being subject to vandalism or being structurally unsound. In some cases, derelict buildings may be owned by the government or private organisations, but they have remained vacant for reasons unknown.
Some derelict buildings can be beautiful examples of architecture, while others are simply derelict shells that are a danger to the public.
