stagnation
stag·nate S0696200 (stăg′nāt′)intr.v. stag·nat·ed, stag·nat·ing, stag·nates To be or become stagnant.
[Latin stāgnāre, stāgnāt-, from stāgnum, swamp.]
stag·na′tion n.Stagnation in a rut Stuck in an established routine; mired in monotony; caught in a stultifying sameness. This figurative use of rut ‘deep furrow or track’ has been common since the mid-19th century. On his return to civilized life, he will settle at once into the rut. (Sir John Skelton, Campaigner at Home, 1865) Today the expression carries the contradictory connotations of comfort and discontent, with emphasis on the latter: movement in a fixed course is smooth and easy but deadening. in the doldrums Inactive, stagnant, nonproductive; depressed, in low spirits, in the dumps, in a blue funk. Doldrum derives from dol, an obsolete form of dull, and is itself an obsolete slang term for a dullard. Thus, the doldrums refers to a condition of dullness, low spirits, or depression. I am now in the doldrums; but when I get better, I will send you …. (Morning Herald, April 13, 1811) The doldrums also often refers to the condition of a becalmed ship. By extension, not only ships, but the economy, politics, trade, etc., can be “in the doldrums.” At the present moment the trade appears to be in the doldrums. (Sir T. Sutherland, Westminster Gazette, July 11, 1895) According to the OED, confusion as to whether the doldrums referred to a condition or a location gave rise to its use as the name of that specific region of calm near the Equator where neutralizing trade winds often prevent ships from making progress.

StagnationA period of slow economic growth, or, in securities trading, a period of inactive trading.StagnationA period where an economy grows at an extremely low rate without actually entering a recession. During stagnation, it is unlikely that jobs will be created, wages will increase, or that the stock market will boom. While there is no exact definition of economic stagnation, most analysts agree that positive growth under 2%-3% qualifies. It may occur because a business cycle is winding down, because a catastrophic event has caused economic uncertainty, or for any number of other reasons. Classical Keynesian economics states that stagnation will result in a period of low inflation because there is no growth in demand for money, but American stagnation in the 1970s also saw a period of high inflation. See also: Brezhnev Stagnation, Stagflation.Stagnation.Stagnation is a period during which the economy grows slowly, doesn't grow at all, or actually contracts after adjusting for inflation. Typically, there is a corresponding contraction in the stock market. As a result of a slowing economy, unemployment increases and consumer spending slows. Policymakers may fear a recession, and, in response, the central bank may try to stimulate growth by increasing liquidity and lowering interest rates. While stagnation is hard on the economy, it's more common and potentially less disruptive than stagflation, which combines slowing growth with rising inflation. stagnation see SECULAR STAGNATION.See STAGN
