Etymology of ARE DERELICT

The phrase "are derelict" is not a commonly used phrase, as "are" is the second person plural form of the verb "to be", and "derelict" is an adjective meaning abandoned or in a very poor condition. However, if you are referring to the word "derelict" as a noun, meaning a person who is homeless or abandoned, the etymology of "derelict" can be traced back to Latin.

The word "derelict" comes from the Latin word "derelictus", which is the past participle of the verb "derelinquere". The prefix "de-" means "down" or "away", and "relinquere" means "to leave" or "to abandon". Therefore, "derelictus" means "abandoned" or "left behind".
