NOSEDIVED Meaning and
Definition
-
Nosedived is a verb that constitutes the action of sharply declining or plummeting in a rapid and sudden manner, especially in reference to a decrease in value, quality, performance, or any similar aspect. This term is predominantly used metaphorically to describe a significant and sudden drop or decline, similar to a rapid nosedive that an airplane or a bird might perform when diving toward the ground.
In a financial context, nosedived could describe a sharp decline in the value of stocks, commodities, or currencies. It suggests a sudden and severe loss, typically resulting from negative market conditions, economic downturns, or unexpected events. Similarly, it can be used metaphorically when referring to a sudden and drastic drop in the quality, popularity, or reputation of a product, service, or brand.
In a broader sense, the term nosedived can be applied when describing a sudden and steep decline or deterioration in any context.
