De यानी down (नीचे)। Descend, ascend का उल्टा है — पहाड़ पर चढ़ना ascend, उतरना descend। याद रखिए: De = Down, दोनों D से।
DE means 'down'. Descend is the opposite of ascend: you ascend a hill going up and descend it coming down. 'De = down' — both start with D.
Exam note
Antonym options: ascend, rise, climb। Noun descent (उतराई) को dissent (असहमति) और decent (शालीन) से अलग रखिए।
Antonyms offered are ascend, rise and climb. Keep the noun descent (a coming down) apart from dissent (disagreement) and decent (respectable).
