Decreased

/dɪˈkriːst/ verb

Definition

Past tense of decrease; became smaller in size, amount, intensity, or degree. Reduced or diminished from a previous state or level.

Etymology

From Latin 'decrescere' meaning 'to grow less,' from 'de-' (away) plus 'crescere' (to grow). The word entered English in the 14th century, maintaining its sense of gradual reduction.

Kelly Says

The beautiful symmetry in 'decrease' and 'increase' both containing 'crease' reflects how growth and reduction were once visualized as literal creasing or folding - like fabric expanding or contracting. In mathematics, decrease is always relative to a reference point, making it fundamentally about comparison rather than absolute values.
