The word 'collapsed' refers to falling down suddenly due to loss of strength or structure. In a sentence, it can be used as follows: "The old barn collapsed after the storm." When modifying the word, one could use 'uncollapsed' to refer to something that has not fallen down, or 'collapsing' to describe something in the process of falling down. Synonyms for 'collapsed' include 'fell', 'crumbled', and 'tumbled down'. In contrast, antonyms would be 'erected', 'constructed', or 'built up', denoting the opposite action of assembling or rising.
'Artificial' describes something that is made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, typically as a copy of something natural. For example, "The cake was decorated with artificial flowers." To modify the word, one could use 'unartificial' to imply something is not artificial, or 'artificiality' to express the quality of being artificial. Synonyms for 'artificial' include 'synthetic', 'fake', and 'imitation'. Antonyms are 'natural', 'real', and 'authentic', which convey the essence of being genuine or originating from nature.
