Taken literally, deoxygenated means "without oxygen," but physiologically it means blood that has dropped its oxygen load to the tissues. There is still oxygen bound to hemoglobin in deoxygenated blood, just not as much as oxygenated blood.

Blood that has released its oxygen. It is dark red in color with a tinge of blue. It is a common misconception that deoxygenated blood is blue.
