Origin of the word impoverished

"Impoverished" traces its roots back to the Latin word "pauper," meaning "poor." The word went through a series of transformations: * **pauper** (Latin) * **paupertas** (Latin, meaning "poverty") * **impoverished** (English, meaning "made poor" or "reduced to poverty") The prefix "im-" indicates a negative or lack of something, hence "impoverished" literally means "made without wealth."
