To fail to provide or to withdraw provisions or supplies from someone.
From dis- (negation) + provide (from Latin providere, 'to foresee and care for'). This archaic term combines reversal with the concept of care or supply.
This rare word hints at how language can express the opposite of care—sometimes we need words for what's NOT done, which reveals cultural values about responsibility.
