Crashed

Crashed, in its broadest sense, describes a sudden and often damaging failure or collision. It can pertain to physical objects, systems, financial markets, software programs, or even social gatherings. The core meaning involves a loss of control, function, or stability. This loss can range from a minor glitch to a catastrophic event, always involving an abrupt cessation or a significant decline from a previous state. The severity and context greatly influence the specific connotations of the word, however the root meaning is always the same, an unwanted end. The resulting damage or disruption is also a common element of crashed.
