Oh, I think here we have an Old English reference... You'll remember reading of Hyt pricaþ innan þan sculdru and on þan hriȝȝe (Peri Didaxeon, c. 1150 - the manuscript is in the British Library, Harley). This probably derives from a verb in proto West Germanic language from around the sixth century AD, and we can see cognates in modern languages that owe their oldest vocabulary to low German (e.g. Danish, Swedish, Dutch).
The verb pricaþ appears to have derived from the noun for "sharp point" as in Ic pricige pungo (Ælfric's Grammar - 9th century).
I am sorry... I couldn't supply any Greek or Latin roots. (Biohazard issue, you see.) There was also no Arabic connection, and I am stumped by the challenge of an Aryan root.
BUT - the poster may have created the word "depricated" to give the sense of "having removed the state or quality of being able to prick". The assumption would therefore be that having one's name and address available renders one subject to being attacked by all manner of sharp objects which inflict prick marks and tiny wounds; eBay has thoughtfully removed the ability to track down sellers in order to thrust needles in them (as a result of acupunture, torture, or merely forcing them to sew without a thimble), and therefore the function has indeed been ... depricated.
