"demote" 是英語中的及物動詞，指将某人或某物降低到更低的等級或職位。該詞源于拉丁語前綴 "de-"（向下）和 "movere"（移動）的組合，字面含義為"向下移動"。在現代英語中主要應用于職場管理、組織架構調整和物品分類等領域。
在職場語境中，"demote" 特指因績效不達标、組織重組或紀律處分等原因，将員工從現有職位調至責任更輕、薪資更低的崗位。例如："The company demoted the manager to junior analyst after the project failure（項目失敗後，公司将經理降職為初級分析師）"。與近義詞"downgrade"不同，"demote" 更強調職位層級的主動調整，而前者多指價值或重要性的客觀降低。
該詞也適用于非人類主體的降級處理，如計算機系統中管理員權限的撤銷，或圖書館将熱門書籍從推薦區調至普通書架的館藏調整。法律領域則用于描述證券信用評級下調，如："The bonds were demoted to junk status（債券被降級為垃圾級）"。其反義詞"promote"構成完整的職級變動語義場，共同構建組織人事變動的雙向描述體系。
單詞demote 的詳細解釋如下：
Demote 是動詞，表示“使降級”或“降低職位/等級”，通常用于職場、組織或等級體系中。其反義詞為promote（晉升）。例如：
He was demoted from manager to assistant due to poor performance.
（他因表現不佳從經理降職為助理。）
職場場景
指因績效、失誤或結構調整導緻的職位降低，常搭配介詞to 或from：
She was demoted to a part-time role.
（她被降級為兼職崗位。）
其他領域
可比喻性使用，如軟件版本“降級”、比賽隊伍“降級到低級别聯賽”等。
