Harker Metamorphism xx. 342 The changes which befall metamorphosed rocks subsequently to the culmination of metamorphism..are of the nature of degradation... This class of changes includes what Becke has styled ‘diaphthoresis’, implying ruin or corruption; but this rather cumbrous term has not been very widely adopted. It will be more convenient to speak of retrograde metamorphism. 1948 Mem. Geol. Soc. Amer. 30 299 Retrogressive metamorphism, or diaphthoresis, is the mineralogical adjustment of relatively high-grade metamorphic rocks to temperatures lower than those of their initial metamorphism. 1957 Encycl. Brit. XV. 322/2 Reactions of adjustment to the conditions of lower temperature are..by no means altogether absent. The process of retrograde metamorphism is known as diaphthoresis.
