devitalized

/dɪvˈaɪɾəlˌaɪzd/ verb

simple past and past participle of devitalize

Word Origin Built from Latin 'vita' meaning 'life' and the prefix 'de-' meaning 'undoing' — so devitalized literally means 'life taken out of it.' The root 'vita' also gives us vitamin (life-giving amine) and vital (full of life). The PIE root *gwei- 'to live' is the same one that gives us biology's 'bio-' and quick (originally 'alive'). So when something is devitalized, it's been drained of its living energy.
