Words that are no longer used can be designated as 'obsolete' by major dictionaries, like the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

But obsolete words can be brought back if the they are easily understood and come back into favor.

I submit to you: divast

Di 'vast' (adjective): Devastated; laid waste.

Example: The village was left divast after the war.

Let's bring this back. Publish something on nostr using this word. Use it in your notes occasionally. LFG! 💪
