Definition
To resign is to officially leave a job or position, usually by your own choice. It can also mean to accept something unpleasant that you cannot change.
Etymology
From Latin *resignare* meaning 'to unseal, cancel, give up', from *re-* 'back' + *signare* 'to sign or seal'. Originally about undoing a formal seal, it grew into the idea of giving up an office or claim.
Kelly Says
Resign is literally 'un-sign'—you’re taking your name off the job. The emotional sense of being 'resigned to your fate' is similar: you mentally sign away your right to keep fighting it.
