Eschewal

/ɛsˈtʃuːəl/ noun

Definition

The act or practice of eschewing; deliberate avoidance or rejection of something.

Etymology

From eschew + -al (a suffix forming nouns from verbs). The root 'eschew' comes from Old French 'eschever.' The -al ending was added to create the abstract noun form.

Kelly Says

Eschewal is about actively choosing to avoid something—it's more deliberate and conscious than just naturally keeping away from it.
