UK: /dɪˈpraɪv/ (Note: IPA verified from Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
语源 (Etymology)
Origin:
From Latin deprivāre (to take away, dispossess), formed by de- (meaning "from, away") + privāre (to deprive, take from private ownership). 中文翻译: 词源来自拉丁语 deprivāre（剥夺，夺取），由前缀 de-（表示“从…离开”）和 privāre（剥夺，从私有中拿走）组成。
Historical Shift:
Originally meaning "to dispossess someone of property" (15th century), evolved to a broader sense of "to take away any essential thing" (17th century onward). No semantic amelioration/deterioration; consistent core meaning of "taking away." 中文翻译: 最初含义为“剥夺某人财产”（15世纪），后扩展为“夺走任何必需之物”（17世纪起）。语义无明显褒贬变化，核心含义“拿走”保持一致。
