[/nq] Have you thought of looking in an on-line dictionary like the Merriam Webster? Nevertheless, "privation" means something like poverty; "deprivation" means that something or someone is depriving you of something you need. "Deptrivation" may have something to do with poverty, but not necessarily so; and "privation" may arise as a result of natural causes.
