Atrophy essentially means "dying off", or "wasting away", or "getting smaller". An example is when a body builder with alot of muscle stops working out, after a month or two their muscles will start to get smaller because the body "eats" its own muscle, the muscle that it doesnt need any more. Perhaps a better example is if you stop eating food. Your bodies tisues will slowly atrophy.
