Decongested

Decongested describes the state of being relieved or freed from an excessive accumulation, blockage, or obstruction, typically related to physical congestion, such as in the nasal passages, roadways, or an overloaded network. It implies a process of clearing or opening up something previously blocked or overcrowded, allowing for improved flow, circulation, or accessibility. This can involve removing obstacles, reducing density, or relieving pressure to restore a more efficient or comfortable state. The term frequently applies to situations where there is too much of something, causing an undesirable obstruction to the flow of a substance or process.
