c1340Gaw. & Gr. Knt. 1219 Bot wolde ȝe, lady louely, þen leue me grante, & deprece your prysoun [prisoner], & pray hym to ryse. [Of uncertain etymology. Deprece occurs in the same poem as a spelling of depress v., but no sense of that word suits here. OF. had despresser to free from a press, free from pressure. OF. despriser to let out of prison, release from confinement, app. agrees in sense, but not in form.] ▪ II. deprece
