Having gone downward or declined, in a state of ruin or disgrace (archaic or poetic).
Archaic past participle combining 'down' and 'gone,' used in Middle and Early Modern English to describe a completed descent or decline.
This wonderfully archaic word sounds almost Shakespearean—it describes not just someone who has fallen, but someone who is thoroughly, completely gone downward with no hope of return. It's the verbal equivalent of dramatic tragedy.
