/ˈæbrəɡeɪt//ˈæbrəɡeɪt/

The word "abrogate" originates from the Latin phrase "abrogare," which means "to remove" or "to take away." In the 15th century, the verb "abrogate" entered the English language with the same meaning, but with a specific connotation of canceling or repealing a law, rule, or ordinance. In law and politics, "abrogate" refers to the act of officially declaring a law, treaty, or agreement invalid or no longer in effect. This can be done by a legislative body, a court, or a governing authority. In a broader sense, "abrogate" can also mean to invalidate or nullify a commitment, promise, or obligation. Over time, the word has been used in various contexts, including literature, commerce, and even theology. Today, "abrogate" remains a valuable term in many fields, allowing us to clearly convey the idea of canceling or repealing something official or binding.
