#D89 (deplore to deportable)

from The Dictionary

I read from deplore to deportable.     Why does my brain shut down when reading things like this article about "Deponent verbs"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deponent_verb     I thought that the etymology said that the Latin verb "populari" means "to ravage" but it turns out I was wrong! (surprise surprise) It turns out that "depopulari" means "to ravage" so I must be comprehending the etymology incorrectly.  It's also a deponent verb! https://www.etymonline.com/word/depopulate#etymonline_v_5613     The word of the episode is "deport".     Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/     Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar     "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube     Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/     Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq     [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
