CRUMBLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Crumbling is a verb that refers to the process of breaking or falling apart into small, fragmented pieces. It commonly describes the disintegration or decay of a solid material or structure, particularly due to age, wear, or neglect.
Crumbling can occur in various contexts, such as buildings, infrastructure, or natural formations. In the case of buildings or structures, it implies a gradual loss of solidity or stability, often characterized by the crumbling or falling away of walls, ceilings, or other components. This deterioration usually stems from factors like weathering, erosion, or the substandard quality of the construction materials used.
Similarly, natural formations, such as cliffs or rock formations, may experience crumbling when subjected to geological processes like weathering, erosion, or seismic activity. Over time, these forces can lead to the breakdown of rocks or cliffs, resulting in smaller fragments or debris.
Furthermore, crumbling can also metaphorically describe the gradual deterioration or decline of something intangible, such as an organization, relationship, or system. It denotes a loss of strength, coherence, or effectiveness, suggesting a state of disintegration or collapse.
Overall, crumbling encompasses the physical fragmentation or disintegration of a material or structure, as well as the metaphorical decline or breakdown of intangible entities.
