뜻

뒤처지다; 대열에서 떨어지다

Used both literally — falling behind a marching group or hiking party — and figuratively for lagging behind peers in knowledge, technology, or economic development. Common in educational, economic, and social commentary. Carries a mildly negative connotation of being left behind.
