The term that does not mean to get softer is "crescendo."

  • "Crescendo" means to gradually get louder.
  • "Diminuendo" and "decresc." both refer to gradually getting softer.

The symbol you described, with two horizontal lines that start apart and come together to a point, also represents a decrease in volume (diminuendo or decresc.).
