deprive
Take away from
To deprive someone of something is to take it away or prevent them from having it: The accident deprived him of his sight.
The word implies loss of something valuable or necessary—you deprive someone of rights, freedom, sleep, or dignity, not of burdens.
Deprived as an adjective describes people or areas lacking basic necessities: economically deprived communities.
