/ˌsɛlfdəˈpriʃiˌeɪdɪŋ/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: self- prefix, depreciating adj.

Etymology: < self- prefix + depreciating adj. Compare later self-deprecating adj.

Characterized by self-depreciation, modesty, or self-criticism; critical of or modest about oneself (now esp. in a humorous or light-hearted way); self-deprecating. Although self-depreciating has traditionally been regarded by writers on usage as more correct than self-deprecating, the latter is now far more common.
