I mean kind of what it means, but I want to be sure.
Also, why is this script deprecated:
local part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
and not this:
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Parent = workspace
✓ ANSWER ACCEPTED
What exactly does "deprecated" mean?

When something is deprecated in roblox, it is not recommend to be used in new work as there may be a better alternative or will be removed in the future.
Instance.new's second parameter, the parent, is said to be deprecated, because it is slow and is not to be used if you care about performance. An alternative to this is to change the object's properties first, then parent it last
It's basically when a phrase has changed and is no longer used, so you are using it incorrectly.
The reason why the first script is deprecated, is because workspace is not lower case anymore and should be capitalised and there is no workspace in the second script which is why the error does not pop up

"deprecated" means that it should not be used although deprecated objects are still usable. It's just not recommended to use them.
