Definition
The act of abandoning or failing to do your duty or responsibility.
Etymology
From Latin 'derelictus,' past participle of 'derelinquere' (to abandon completely), combining 'de-' (thoroughly) and 'relinquere' (to leave). The sense evolved from literal abandonment to neglect of duty.
Kelly Says
This word appears frequently in legal contexts for property that's been completely abandoned by its owner, and paradoxically, found property can sometimes become legally yours if the original owner is considered to have committed 'dereliction' by not caring for it!
