The Difference Between Deprecated, Depreciated and Obsolete [closed]

You are correct.

Deprecated means that it is still in use, but only for historical purposes and it will be removed probably in the next big release. It is recommended that you do not use deprecated functions or features – even if they are present in the current library for example.

Obsolete means that is already out-of-use.

Depreciated means the monetary value of something has decreased over time. E.g., cars typically depreciate in value.
