A state of melancholy or depression; low spirits, the blues.
The act of humbling or abasing oneself.
Adoration implies submission and dejection, so that while we worship we cast down ourselves; there must be therefore some great eminence in the object worshipped, or else we should dishonor our own nature in the worship of it.
From Old French dejection, from Latin dejectio (“a casting down”).
