👉 The term "derogates" in the context of English language refers to a statement or action that is not supported by facts, data, or evidence. It can be used as an adjective to describe something that contradicts or negates what others claim or believe. For example, if someone says, "She doesn't have a degree," it could be considered derogatory because the person is suggesting that the person does not possess the required qualifications for their desired job title.
