  1. vicious cycle

    A vicious cycle refers to a situation or process where a negative event causes another negative event, each worsening the other. This continues in a circular chain of cause and effect, leading to a deterioration or decline of the situation or circumstance in a repetitive, often self-perpetuating manner. The repeating negative cycle feeds back into itself, making it increasingly harder to break or reverse the process.
