moribund

At the point of death. / In a state of terminal decline or lacking vitality and effectiveness.
Tính từ

This term carries a heavy, somber tone, evoking a sense of inevitable ending. In a medical context, it describes the immediate physiological state of dying, where recovery is no longer possible. It is a clinical and formal descriptor that avoids the emotional softness of words like dying or passing.

When applied to systems, industries, or ideas, it suggests a state of stagnation so severe that the entity is effectively dead even if it still technically exists. It differs from stagnant or declining by implying that the decay is terminal and irreversible, often used in academic or socioeconomic critiques to describe obsolete institutions.
