Term: DECREPIT
Definition: When someone is decrepit, it means they are very weak and unable to defend themselves in a fight against someone who is healthy and strong. This can be because of physical or mental disabilities.
Decrepit (di-krep-it) is an adjective used to describe a person who is physically or mentally disabled to such an extent that they would be helpless in a personal conflict with a person of ordinary health and strength.
These examples illustrate how a person who is decrepit is unable to function normally due to physical or mental limitations. They require assistance and are vulnerable in situations where they may need to defend themselves.
