OP I think what I'm looking for (or even invent) is a word for the process by which meaning is stripped, especially when it is stripped from a culture.
Think of imperialism or colonialism and its imposition of will, although the loss I'm thinking of is more subtle, and gradual, an intangible force with no apparent cause that is depleting the meaning.
