descensus
Descensus generally refers to a moving downwards or descending. In narrative literature, it is often used to illustrate the hero's journey to the underworld or a period of suffering. In medical parlance, it describes the downward displacement of an organ or tissue, and in the context of music, it signifies a descending scale or melody.
