Definition Week April 20-24-2009

Deprive:

Kristen
A lacking. Maybe lacking in what is needed, usually a lacking in what is wanted. When I read the definition, I thought immediately of material things, but in my experience it is far more frequently in the emotional, spiritual realm. Deprived of spirituality, ethics, morals. Won't that be a fun picture.

Rachel
Deprive tends to bring an emotional response more than anything else. I think of basic needs that aren't met, taking something away that is important, expected or needed.
