antigrowth

/ˌæntɪɡɹˈoʊθ/ adj

Opposing or countering growth.

Word Origin Growth is from Old English 'growan' (to grow), from PIE '*ghre-' (to grow, become green) — related to green, grass, and graze. Antigrowth simply means against growth. The prefix 'anti-' (against) is straightforward, but the root connects growth to the color of life.
