👉 Degradedness is a term that describes something being less than it would be if it were in a better state. In other words, when something is "degraded," it has become worse or less functional compared to what it was before. For example, consider a car that is running slowly and producing little noise. It may have been functioning well, but now the engine is getting hotter, there's more noise coming out of the exhaust, and the tires are wearing down faster than usual.
