adjective
not having the things that are needed for a good or healthy life
(source-Merriam-Webster)
I encounter this word in the aritle “Love at first bite”. The word is found in the sentence “Meiwes told the court that he had felt deprived and neglected as a child after his father walked out on the family.”By looking it up in the dictionary, I know it means not having the things that are needed for a good or healthy life.
