It describes something that has a negative effect or is disadvantageous to someone or something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word detrimental has its roots in the late Middle English period, derived from the Latin word detrimentum, meaning damage or loss.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s composed of de, meaning away or from, and terere, meaning to rub or wear down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong> Some antonyms of detrimental include beneficial, advantageous, favorable, and constructive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Synonyms for detrimental include harmful, damaging, injurious, deleterious, and prejudicial.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong> Excessive screen time can be detrimental to both physical and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>The new policy had a detrimental effect on small businesses in the area.

Common errors in use:<\/p>\n<p>One common mistake is confusing detrimental with determined. While they may sound similar, determined means resolute or having made a firm decision.<\/p>\n<p>Another error is using detrimental when a milder word like disadvantageous might be more appropriate in certain contexts.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial to understand the strength of the word detrimental and use it when emphasizing significant negative impacts.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding and correctly using the word detrimental can significantly enhance your vocabulary and writing skills for the IELTS exam.<\/p>\n<p>It allows you to express the concept of harm or damage with precision and sophistication.
