The act of removing or reversing a religious blessing, consecration, or prophetic pronouncement.
From exaugurare + -tion (Latin -tio). Derived from the Roman religious practice of undoing augural consecrations when temples fell into disuse or were repurposed.
When Romans wanted to tear down a sacred temple to build something new, they had to perform exauguration—like a ritual 'un-blessing' ceremony. It's the opposite of dedication.
