Portmanteau of "defective" or "defunct", and "afflicted".
A derivation from Frank Zappa's 1974 album Apostrophe, on which the Fur Trapper infamously rubs his deflicted eyes.
> "Well, the fur-trapper stood there, with his arms outstretched across the
> frozen white wasteland, trying to figure out what he was going to do about his deflicted eyes." from Nanook Rubs It by Frank Zappa.
