Etymology of DEPROSTRATE

The word "deprostrate" is actually a misspelling or variant form of the word "prostrate". The etymology of "prostrate" can be traced back to the Latin word "prosternere", which is a combination of the prefix "pro-" meaning "forward" or "in favor of", and the verb "sternere" meaning "to stretch out" or "to spread".

"Prosternere" was composed of "pro" and "sternere" since the Latin prefix "pro-" could amplify or intensify the action of the verb "sternere". In Latin, "prosternere" primarily meant "to knock flat", "to lay low", or "to overthrow". Over time, the meaning of "prostrate" expanded to include the metaphorical sense of being completely bowled over, humiliated, or overwhelmed, thus losing all strength or willpower.
