de- + clinare to incline; akin to E. lean. See {Lean}, v. i.]

to bend over or hang down, as from weakness, weariness,
despondency, etc.; to condescend. "With declining head."

Decline \De*cline"\, n. [F. d['e]clin. See {Decline}, v. i.]
1. A falling off; a tendency to a worse state; diminution or

faculties; any wasting disease, esp. pulmonary
consumption; as, to die of a decline. --Dunglison.
Syn: {Decline}, {Decay}, {Consumption}.
Usage: Decline marks the first stage in a downward progress;
decay indicates the second stage, and denotes a
tendency to ultimate destruction; consumption marks a
steady decay from an internal exhaustion of strength.
The health may experience a decline from various
causes at any period of life; it is naturally subject
to decay with the advance of old age; consumption may
take place at almost any period of life, from disease
which wears out the constitution. In popular language
decline is often used as synonymous with consumption.
By a gradual decline, states and communities lose
their strength and vigor; by progressive decay, they
are stripped of their honor, stability, and greatness;
by a consumption of their resources and vital energy,
they are led rapidly on to a completion of their
existence.
[1913 Webster]
