Etymology of DEPRAVE

The word "deprave" originated from the Latin word "depravare", which can be broken down into "de", meaning "intensive or completely", and "pravus", meaning "crooked, distorted, or wicked". The Latin term evolved from the Proto-Indo-European root *prau-, which carried the sense of "bent, warped, or wicked". Over time, the meaning of "deprave" has shifted to describe the act of corrupting, perverting, or morally distorting someone or something.
