Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Dejected में reject की तरह फेंका जाना है, पर नीचे (de = down)। जो अंदर से नीचे गिरा हुआ महसूस करे, वह dejected — उदास, हताश। Elated इसका उल्टा।
DE means 'down' and JECT means 'throw'. A dejected person feels thrown down, just like someone who has been rejected. So dejected means sad and disheartened; elated is the opposite.
