Waning is an English word that's not used much any more. It means

shrinking, shriveling, decreasing, declining, diminishing, dwindling.

It's still used to decribe the moon, during the half of each cycle ...

roughly two weeks ... when it's in the sky primarily at night, and

its visible portion becomes smaller each night.

When the moon is waning, it is moving from a full moon to a new moon. After the new moon, the moon begins waxing towards a full moon again.
