the.com/deprivation
The art of noticing exactly how much you have by removing it.
means The state of being without something you need or used to have — a lack imposed by circumstance, not choice.
from From Latin deprivare, 'to remove from office' or 'strip of rank' — built from de- ('away, completely') plus privare, 'to deprive, bereave, rob.' That privare is also the root of 'private' (originally 'set apart from the public, withdrawn'), so deprivation and privacy are etymological siblings — both born from the idea of being cut off from something others have.
