Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in English from the verb 'deprave' plus the agentive suffix '-er'. 'Deprave' comes from Middle English, borrowed from Old French depraver and directly from Latin depravare ('to pervert, distort, or disfigure'), from de- ('thoroughly') and pravus ('crooked, deformed, or perverse').
