Descent is a noun meaning motion in a downward direction.
This can be a descent from the top of the stairs to the bottom, or from a higher altitude to a lower one, or from a higher status to a lower status.
In genealogy, descent indicates the individual's ethnic background, as in being of Irish descent. This is from the same root as the word descendant, one who is born from his parents and earlier generations (ancestors).
