OP Does anyone know a word for understanding of something 'to be stripped of meaning'?
It can be an English word or any other language.
Other phrases I've used to search: 'to be robbed of meaning' or 'to be depleted of meaning.'
The closest I've come in English is desacralize but that is more in a religious sense. I'm seeking an understanding in a cultural sense. Not just meaninglessness or emptiness but a violent stealing of that meaning. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
