turndown
Decline an offer
A turndown is a rejection or refusal: We got a turndown on our loan application.
The word also names the hotel service of preparing a room for sleep—folding back the bedcovers, dimming lights, perhaps leaving a mint on the pillow.
As an adjective, turndown describes collars that fold down rather than standing upright.
