synonym for
discouraged
crestfallen
adjective
[
krest
-faw-l
uh
n ]
crestfallen
is another word for
discouraged
To feel
discouraged
is to feel deprived of courage, hope, or confidence as a result of something; a disapproving comment by someone who you were hoping to impress might leave you feeling
discouraged.
The adjective
crestfallen
describes a similarly low state, though with an old-fashioned and literary ring.
Crestfallen
means “dejected” or “dispirited.” This term often occurs in descriptions of appearance, as in a
crestfallen look
or a
crestfallen expression,
which makes sense since the term is thought to allude to the drooping
crests
of defeated animals. (A
crest
here being either a tuft or other natural growth on the top of the head of an animal, as the comb of a rooster, or, perhaps the ridge of the neck of a horse.)
Commonly found as
look crestfallen

looked
crestfallen
when they heard the news that there would be no snow day.
