How Do You Spell SAGGED?

Pronunciation: [sˈaɡd] (IPA)

The word "sagged" is commonly spelled with two "g's" at the end, even though there is only one "g" sound in the pronunciation. This is because the "a" is followed by a short vowel sound, which typically requires a double consonant to signal its shortness in English. The IPA phonetic transcription of "sagged" is [sæɡd], with the two dots representing a voiced velar plosive or "g" sound, and the "d" at the end indicating the past tense verb form.

SAGGED Meaning and Definition

  1. Sagged is a verb that describes the act of sinking or drooping downwards in a limp or heavy manner. This term typically refers to the downward displacement or deformation of an object or material due to the effects of gravity or lack of support.

    In terms of physical objects or structures, sagging often occurs when something loses its structural integrity or support, causing it to bend or droop under its own weight. For example, a hammock may sag in the middle when too much weight is placed on it, or a clothesline may sag under the weight of wet laundry.

    Additionally, sagging can also describe a bodily posture or movement. When a person sags, it means their body or a specific body part sinks downward or droops in a relaxed or tired manner. This could be in the context of a slumped back, sagging shoulders, or a drooping face.

    Metaphorically, sagging can be used to describe a loss of vitality or a decline in energy. For instance, a person's spirits or morale may sag during times of difficulties or disappointments. It can depict a state of weariness or deflation, as if one's enthusiasm or motivation is deflating or losing strength.

    Overall, "sagged" refers to the act of sinking, drooping, or losing firmness, whether it be in a physical or metaphorical sense.

  2. Overloaded; to sag to leewrd, in nav., to make a considerable leeway.
