Sense 2: to deprive of

Semantic entry: 57.47

Semantic domains: Possess, Transfer, Exchange

Subdomains: Need, Lack

Definition: to cause someone not to possess something

Notes: Though the resulting state of ἀποστερέω[b] may be the mere absence of something, nevertheless the implication is that some activity has taken place to cause a person no longer to possess something. This meaning may then be expressed in some languages as to have something taken away from someone.
