Good news, today you learned a new word! Grammatically speaking deprave is a verb, something you do, while depravation is the noun form of it - a noun is a name for a "class of people/places/things", so it's basically the name for the state of having been depraved, or the state of being in the process of depraving someone or something.I'm trying to work out what the title means. Is it an intentional portmantau of "depravity" and "deprivation"? And if so, what does that mean? What are you being deprived of?
So if you ask someone if they have been depraved and they say yes, then they are in a state of depravation. If they say no you can bring them into your library of educational torture to further deprave them in a session of utter depravation.
