Etymology

Meanings

  1. Strongly disapproved of.
    • But much more to be deprecated than all the particular departures from idiom already mentioned is the growing notion that every monosyllabic adjective, if an adverb is to be made of it, must have a -ly clapped on to it to proclaim the fact. 1926, H. W. Fowler, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, page 679:
  2. Belittled; insulted.
  3. Said of a function or feature planned to be phased out, but still available for use.
    • Note that deprecated functions are not removed yet.
    • Just because an element or attribute is deprecated doesn't mean that it can't be used on a webpage. 2002, Steven E. Callihan, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) by Example:
    • Foo() has been deprecated; it outputs a debug message and then calls Foo2()
    • A deprecated element or attribute is one that has been outdated by newer constructs. 1999, Dave Raggett, et. al., “Conformance: requirements and recommendations”, in HTML 4.01 Specification, W3C:
