Deprived definition, marked by deprivation; lacking the necessities of life, as adequate food and shelter: a deprived childhood. Depraved is the way to describe perverse behavior lacking moral decency. It's hard to be depraved when you spend your days defining words at your computer, but the mind does wander.
