[보카길라잡이]

adj.

Synonyms: dead, deceased, departed, extinct, lifeless, inanimate
These adjectives all mean without life.

Dead applies in general to whatever once had but no longer has physical life (a dead man; a dead leaf), function (a dead battery), or force or currency (a dead issue; a dead language).

Deceased and departed refer only to nonliving humans: attended a memorial service for a recently deceased friend; looking at pictures of departed relatives.

Extinct can refer to what has no living successors (extinct species such as the dodo) or to what is extinguished or inactive (an extinct volcano).

Lifeless applies to what no longer has physical life (a lifeless body), to what does not support life (a lifeless planet), or to what lacks animation, spirit, or brightness (a lifeless performance; lifeless colors).

Inanimate is most often limited to what has never had physical life: “The anchored gunboat simply would not sink. It evinced that unnatural stubbornness which is sometimes displayed by inanimate objects” (Stephen Crane).
