Wither

To wither means to become dry and weak, like a plant that hasn't had enough water and starts to look sad and unhealthy.

Examples

• The beautiful flowers in the garden began to wither after we forgot to water them for a whole week.
• When leaves fall from trees in autumn, they can wither and turn brown before winter arrives.
• If you leave a sandwich out in the sun, it will wither and become dry and unappetizing.
