To reduce poverty or lift someone out of poverty; to make formerly poor people less poor.
From dis- (remove) + pauperize (make poor, from pauper + -ize). This word is also archaic or obsolete, created by combining the prefix dis- with pauperize to create its opposite meaning.
Language teachers sometimes use 'dispauperize' as an example of how English can theoretically create new words using prefixes, even though the word itself never became standard. It's like an experiment in what *could* be!
