dwindling

Gradually decreasing in size, amount, or strength.
Adjective

This term carries a strong connotation of steady, inevitable decline. It is frequently used in professional or journalistic contexts to describe the loss of resources, support, or population, suggesting a process that is gradual rather than sudden. While "decreasing" is a neutral term, "dwindling" often implies a sense of precariousness or a looming shortage.

When used as an adjective, it modifies nouns that represent a quantity or a collective group, such as "dwindling hopes" or "dwindling numbers." As a present participle, it describes the active process of shrinking. It is rarely used for physical objects that shrink in size due to temperature or pressure, but rather for abstract amounts or populations.
