The act or process of abjuring; a solemn renunciation or rejection of something sworn or claimed.
From 'abjure' with the suffix '-ment' (the act or result of), following English patterns like 'arrangement' or 'agreement.' It emphasizes the action itself.
While 'abjuration' is the standard term, 'abjurement' is a rarer variant that emphasizes the emotional weight of the act—it's what happens when someone formally gives up their identity or beliefs.
