Demoted

/dɪˈmoʊtɪd/

पदावनत (किया गया); पद/रैंक घटाया हुआ

Origin & History

From French "démoter" and ultimately Latin "movere" (to move), with the prefix "de-" (down, away): "demote" = move down in rank; "demoted" is its past form.

यह शब्द फ्रेंच "démoter" और अंततः लैटिन "movere" (हिलाना/स्थानांतरित करना) से आया है, जिसमें उपसर्ग "de-" (नीचे/दूर) जुड़ा है: "demote" का अर्थ पद/रैंक नीचे करना; "demoted" उसका भूतकाल/भूतकृदंत रूप है।

Definition

Demoted means someone was moved to a lower job rank, position, or status, often as a penalty or organizational change.

Demoted का अर्थ है किसी व्यक्ति को पद, रैंक या दर्जे में नीचे कर देना—अक्सर दंड के रूप में या संगठनात्मक बदलाव के कारण।
