衰退 (shuāi tuì)

--feedback--

This word combines the syllables shuāi and tuì.

--explanation--

The first syllable combines the initial sh with the compound final uai, and uses the first tone, which is a high-level tone. The second syllable combines the initial t with the compound final ui, and uses the fourth tone, which is a falling tone.

衰退 (shuāi tuì) is used when something becomes weaker or decreases over time, such as performance, activity, or growth.
