Deterioration refers to the process of something becoming progressively worse. This can apply to various contexts such as physical objects undergoing wear and tear, health conditions worsening over time, environmental degradation, or a decline in the quality or performance of an entity. The term is often used in medical, environmental, and technological fields to describe a negative change in state.
