1. Forsaken, deserted. ``Your abandoned streams.'' --Thomson.
2. Self-abandoned, or given up to vice; extremely wicked, or
sinning without restraint; irreclaimably wicked; as, an
abandoned villain.
Syn: Profligate; dissolute; corrupt; vicious; depraved;
reprobate; wicked; unprincipled; graceless; vile.
Usage: {Abandoned}, {Profligate}, {Reprobate}. These
adjectives agree in expressing the idea of great
personal depravity. {Profligate} has reference to open
and shameless immoralities, either in private life or
political conduct; as, a {profligate} court, a
{profligate} ministry. {Abandoned} is stronger, and
has reference to the searing of conscience and
hardening of heart produced by a man's giving himself
wholly up to iniquity; as, a man of {abandoned}
character. {Reprobate} describes the condition of one
who has become insensible to reproof, and who is
morally abandoned and lost beyond hope of recovery.
God gave them over to a reprobate mind. --Rom.
i. 28.
