Well, we can analyze "derogerty"...?! First, "de" meams "without" or "to
remove"...?! and the suffix "ty" means "has" or "contains." That leaves
us with "roger" which means "Received in full!" Thus "derogerty" means
"Denying that the mesage was received fully and correctly, in spite of
any previous statements to that effect...?!"

"Aberivate" is more complicated...near as I can guess, it means "to
remove 'beri' from...whatever "beri" (other than half a diseasel
"beri-beri"...?!) is?!
