DROPPED Meaning and
Definition
-
Dropped, as a verb, refers to the action of letting or causing something to fall from a higher to a lower position, often unintentionally or by accident. When something is dropped, it typically loses contact with the hand or support that was holding it, causing it to descend under the influence of gravity. In this sense, dropping can involve physical objects, substances, or even quantities, as in "drop a glass," "drop a book," or "drop a few drops of liquid."
Additionally, "dropped" can denote the act of releasing or depositing an item or object somewhere intentionally, especially when done swiftly or abruptly. For instance, a person might drop a letter into a mailbox or drop off a package at a certain location.
Moreover, the term "dropped" can be used metaphorically to describe a sudden decrease or decline in something, such as a decrease in temperature, a decline in an individual's mood, or a decrease in the value or price of something. For example, one could say that the temperature dropped significantly, or that a person's interest level dropped after a certain event.
In some contexts, "dropped" can also relate to being dismissed or excluded from a group or organization. This could be seen in phrases such as "being dropped from the team" or "being dropped from the project."
