stagnant
의미: Having no current or flow, and often becoming foul as a result; showing no activity, development, or progress.
Stagnant carries stronger negative connotations than 'static.' Where static merely implies an absence of change, stagnant suggests decay and deterioration — stagnant water breeds disease, and a stagnant economy breeds discontent. The word is a mainstay of economic and political journalism, frequently appearing in phrases like 'stagnant wages,' 'stagnant growth,' and 'stagnant productivity.' It implies that inaction is causing active harm.
