PAUPERISE Meaning and Definition

  1. Pauperise is a verb that refers to the act of making someone or a group of people become impoverished or financially destitute. It is derived from the noun "pauper," which means a person who is extremely poor and lacks the means to support themselves adequately.

    When someone or something is pauperised, it means that they are reduced to a state of extreme poverty or forced into a condition where they struggle to meet their basic needs. This can result from various factors, such as economic instability, unemployment, or social and political issues.

    Pauperisation often involves depriving individuals or communities of resources, opportunities, or the ability to generate income. It can lead to a significant decline in living standards, limited access to necessities like food, shelter, education, and healthcare, and an overall deterioration of quality of life.

    This term can also be used metaphorically to describe the process of causing the decline or deterioration of something other than financial conditions, such as the weakening or impoverishing of an organization, industry, or even a cultural or natural resource.

    Overall, the verb pauperise implies the act of causing or being subjected to extreme poverty or a significant reduction in living standards, either in financial terms or in the broader sense of overall wellbeing.

  2. To reduce to a state of poverty or indigence.
