What is another word for necrotic?
Pronunciation: [nɛkɹˈɒtɪk] (IPA) 
Necrotic refers to the death of cells or tissue that occurs as a result of injury, disease, or lack of oxygen. Some synonyms for the word necrotic include dead, decayed, rotten, putrid, and gangrenous. Other synonyms might include mortified, decomposed, infarcted, or sloughing. All of these terms refer to the same basic process of cell death and tissue breakdown, although they may have slightly different connotations or implications depending on the specific context in which they are used. Whether describing the effects of a disease, injury, or surgical procedure, necrotic tissue is never a good thing, and requires prompt treatment to prevent further damage or infection.
