The word deprived has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French word deprivier, which itself is derived from the Latin word deprivare. In Latin, deprivare is a combination of de meaning away or completely, and privare meaning to release or to deprive. Over time, as the word evolved from Old French into Middle English, deprivier became depriven, which eventually transformed into the modern-day word deprived.
