deflated

Emptied of air

Deflated describes something that has had air or gas released from it: a deflated balloon, a deflated tire.

The figurative sense is more common—feeling deflated means having your confidence, enthusiasm, or spirits suddenly diminished: She felt deflated after the rejection.

Deflated prices or currencies have fallen from previous levels.
