English term (edited):
degration
Erniedrigung; Degradierung
I think this is a typo for degraDAtion, which is Erniedrigung or Degradierung in German.

Cilian O'Tuama
: (agree with typo) but not in this context, more along the lines of 'Abbau'

Abbau
in diesem Zusammenhang spricht man von Abbau - aber nur, wenn degration ein Tippfehler ist und es eigentlich degradation heißen soll
