Etymology of DEPRIVED OF
The word "deprived" comes from the Old French word "depriver", which means "to deprive, dispossess", deriving from the Latin word "deprivare". The Latin term is a combination of the prefix "de-" meaning "apart, away" and the verb "privare" meaning "to rob, deprive". "Privare" itself has roots in the Latin word "privus" meaning "private" or "individual". Thus, the word "deprived" essentially denotes being robbed or stripped of something, particularly in a sense of being made private or separate from it. When combined with the preposition "of", it indicates the thing or aspect from which someone has been deprived.
