Definition: Depredation refers to the loss or damage caused by an action or act, typically resulting from the person's actions. It can be used as a noun, verb, adverb, or adjective to describe something that has been done harmlessly or negligently. In this context, "depreciation" could mean a gradual or slow process where a good thing is gradually eroded away by more harmful or negative actions (like a person's bad habits, dishonest behavior, or being unproductive). Depredation could also be used to describe the idea that something valuable has been lost due to someone else's actions. For example, "The company had depreciated its stock value over the last few years," which means that the company's stock value had declined in recent years due to bad investments made by the company's owners.
