Pronunciation

Verb

dēpereō (present infinitive dēperīre, perfect active dēperiī or dēperīvī, supine dēperitum); irregular conjugation, third person-only in the passive

  1. (intransitive) to perish, to be ruined, to get lost, to go awaste
    • c. 48 BCE, Julius Caesar, Commentarii de Bello Civili 3.87.2:
      Perexigua pars illīus exercitūs superest. Magna pars dēperiit, quod accidere tot proeliīs fuit necesse, multōs autumnī pestilentia in Italiā consūmpsit, multī domum discessērunt, multī sunt relictī in continentī.
      A very small part of that army is left. A great part perished, which had to happen in so many battles, the pestilence of the autumn consumed many in Italy, many left for home, many were left behind.
    • CE 530 – CE 533, Justinian I, Dīgesta seu Pandectae 17.1.8.6:
      Mandāvī, ut negōtia gererēs: sī nihil dēperierit, quamvīs nēmō gesserit, nūlla āctiō est, aut sī alius idoneē gesserit, cessat mandātī āctiō.
      I mandated you to manage some affairs: if nothing got lost even though nobody managed them, no claim arises, or if somebody manages alike, the claim from the mandate cedes.
  2. (transitive) to be desperately in love with, to love to distraction
