How to use "Dilapidation" in context?
The word "dilapidation" typically refers to the gradual deterioration of a building or structure due to factors such as weather, neglect, or vandalism. When a building is in such a state of disrepair, it can be difficult to maintain and can pose a safety hazard to those who are inside.
Dilapidation can also refer to a process or an outcome, both of which can be summed up with the word "degradation." This involves the gradual loss of physical or mental health, vigor, or even life due to an accumulation of negative experiences, such as poverty, neglect, or a lack of opportunity.
