verb
To become worse, or to make something worse.
Worsen is used of problems, conditions and situations that get more serious rather than better, such as weather, a health complaint or a political crisis. It works with or without an object: a storm can worsen, and careless handling can worsen an injury. The verb was built from the comparative worse with the ending -en, in the same way as sweeten or lengthen.
