degenerative
의미: Describing a disease or condition in which the structure or function of affected tissues or organs progressively deteriorates over time.
Degenerative conditions are characterised by the gradual loss of cells, tissue integrity, or organ function, typically worsening with age. Common collocations include 'degenerative disease,' 'degenerative disc disease,' 'degenerative joint disease,' and 'degenerative disorder.' The term implies irreversibility in most medical contexts, distinguishing these conditions from inflammatory or infectious processes that may resolve.
