Depopulation
(redirected from depopulate)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.

DEPOPULATION. In its most proper signification, is the destruction of the people of a country or place. This word is, however, taken rather in a passive than an active one; we say depopulation, to designate a diminution of inhabitants, arising either from violent causes, or the want of multiplication. Vide 12 Co. 30.
