Rfv-sense: To deprive of privileges. - looks like a misinformed broadening of other senses Notusbutthem (talk) 21:48, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- Cited this sense with a slightly less broad definition. The definition in the entry was not supported by OED or by any sources I could find.
- I would RFV sense 1 ("To deprive of the right of common") actually; OED only has a single cite for it. This, that and the other (talk) 09:42, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: "to deprive of the right of common". OED has a sense "To deprive of the use of common land", marked "obsolete, rare", with one supporting cite: "Whiles thou discommonest thy neighbours keyne, And warn'st that none feed on thy field." Here, the cows are the ones being discommoned, not their owners. The cows don't have a "right of common", so if this is how the word is used, our definition is wrong. (That's my last RFV for now.)

cited, but, as per This, that and the other's point, I have re-worded the definition. Kiwima (talk) 01:04, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
