Etymology
Deprecating comes from Latin parts de- ('away') and precari ('to pray'), which gave the idea of 'asking something to go away'. Over time that sense changed to 'speaking against' or showing dislike, so a deprecating remark is one that expresses disapproval or makes something seem unimportant.
