/ˈdisəˌpādəd/ verb
Tahira Naqvi, “Brave We Are”
In the text ” Brave We Are” by Tahira Naqvi, the word I would love to know the meaning of is dissipated (verb). In my opinion I thought that dissipated meant to gain power. But according to Macmillan Dictionary, the word dissipate means to gradually disappear by becoming less strong, or to make something do this. Which means that opposite in which I thought it meant. Also, the sentences that the shows the word dissipate being used is ” Kasim is at the breakfast table now, some of his earlier energy dissipated.” The sentence explains that the joy that Kasim represented previously had faded away.
