Etymology of DEPRESS
The word "depress" originated from the Latin verb "deprimere". It is formed by combining the prefix "de-" meaning "down" or "away" and the verb "primere" meaning "to press". In Latin, "deprimere" had several meanings such as "to press or push down", "to sink", or "to lower". Over time, the meaning expanded to include the psychological sense of feeling downcast or dispirited, which is the primary meaning of "depress" in modern English.
