bereft
의미: Deprived of or lacking something, especially a non-material possession. Also, grief-stricken following a loss or bereavement.
Bereft is the past participle of the archaic verb 'bereave' and operates in two distinct senses. 'Bereft of' means completely lacking or deprived of something (bereft of ideas, bereft of hope). Used alone, it means stricken with grief, especially after a death. The word carries a strong emotional charge and is more literary than 'deprived.' Common collocations include 'bereft of hope,' 'bereft of ideas,' 'utterly bereft,' and 'bereft parents.'
