下坠

• 병음: xià zhuì
• 한자 분석: 下 = downward; 坠 = 队 + 土 (a falling formation + earth — something that drops to the ground)

뜻

급격히 아래로 떨어지다; 곤두박질치다

Used literally for physical falling — objects, aircraft, market prices, or physiological sensations of freefall. Also used metaphorically for psychological descent (情绪下坠 = emotional downward spiral) or the decline of values, standards, or morale. More literary and formal than 掉落 or 落下, and typically implies uncontrolled or significant downward movement.
