  • #D89 (deplore to deportable)

    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".
