collapse
Significado
derrumbarse, colapsar, caer en desuso, fracasar
"Collapse" significa que algo se cae o se desmorona, ya sea físicamente, como un edificio que se derrumba, o de manera figurativa, como un sistema que deja de funcionar. También puede referirse a una persona que se siente tan cansada o abrumada que se desmaya o se rinde. Además, se usa para describir situaciones que fracasan o no tienen éxito, como un negocio que no logra mantenerse.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "collapse" with "fall," as "collapse" implies a sudden and often complete failure rather than just a downward movement.
