How it's used
This is a formal, legal term almost exclusively used in official, judicial, or political contexts. It carries a heavy, serious tone, implying a legal process or authority has formally removed a right or status. You will rarely hear this in casual daily conversation, where people would instead use 剝奪 or 取消.
Examples
The judge sentenced him to permanent deprivation of public rights.
He broke the law, so his eligibility to run for election was revoked.

Common mistake
Learners often mistake this for a common verb like 攞走, but it is strictly reserved for legal or official rights. Using it to describe taking away a physical object, like a toy or a snack, sounds extremely unnatural and overly dramatic.
