The act or process of formally and completely renouncing or rejecting something.
From 'abrenuntiatio' in Latin, combining 'ab-' (away) + 'renuntiatio' (declaration against). The '-tion' suffix turns the action into a noun.
Religious figures would make written declarations of abrenunciation to formally leave their orders—it's a word that requires witnesses and documents!
