How it's used

This term is almost exclusively used in historical contexts to describe the final, often turbulent period of a dynasty. It carries a sense of impending collapse or significant social upheaval. Unlike general terms for late periods, it specifically implies the terminal phase before a regime change.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe the end of a person's life or a general period of time that is not a dynasty or reign, as it sounds overly formal and historically specific.
