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!

The word of the episode is "deport".
