Depression में 'press' है, और 'de' = down — यानी नीचे दबा हुआ। मन लंबे समय तक नीचे दबा रहे तो अवसाद, और अर्थव्यवस्था नीचे दबे तो मंदी, जैसे 1930s की Great Depression।
Depression contains 'press': read 'de' as 'down', so it means pressed down. When the mind is pressed down for a long time, it is depression; when the economy is pressed down, it is a slump, like the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Gloom, slump synonym; context के हिसाब से elation/happiness और boom antonym हैं।
Gloom and slump are synonyms; elation or happiness and boom are antonyms, depending on whether the sense is mood or economy.
