A droop is like a sag...
Drooping shoulders for example (are shoulders that aren't very square, they tend to fall, like the fashion in the 19th century for women -- actually it was probably the corsetting that made their shoulders eventually sag because their spines were compressed toward the front of the body)
droop
verb (drooped, drooping) intrans
1 to hang loosely; to sag.
2 to be or grow weak with tiredness.
noun a drooping state.
[14c: from Norse drupa.]
