Tending to cause dejection; having the quality of lowering spirits or causing discouragement.
Deject plus the adjectival suffix '-ory,' which forms adjectives meaning 'tending to' or 'relating to.' This creates an alternative to 'dejecting.'
Using '-ory' instead of '-ing' makes it sound more formal and technical—scientists might write about 'dejectory influences' rather than 'dejecting effects.'
