renounce(v.)
14世纪晚期, renouncen,“放弃(尤指交给他人),辞职,投降”,源自古法语 renoncier “放弃,割让”(12世纪,现代法语 renoncer),直接源自拉丁语 renuntiare “带回消息; 宣布; 反对,放弃”,源自 re- “反对”(见 re-) + nuntiare “报告,宣布”,源自 nuntius “信使”(源自 PIE 词根 *neu- “喊叫”)。
“放弃,停止”(习惯,做法等)的意义来自15世纪晚期。与某人“否认关系或效忠”的意义始于大约1500年。通过公开宣布放弃或放弃(信仰,观点等)的意义,宣布反对”始于1530年代。相关: Renounced; renouncing; renouncement。
Renounce, to declare strongly, with more or less of formality, that we give up some opinion, profession, or pursuit forever. Thus, a pretender to a throne may renounce his claim. Recant, to make publicly known that we give up a principle or belief formerly maintained, from conviction of its erroneousness ; the word therefore implies the adoption of the opposite belief. [Century Dictionary]
Renounce,强烈声明,或多或少地正式宣布,我们永远放弃某种观点、职业或追求。因此,王位的自称者可能会放弃他的权利。 Recant,公开宣布我们放弃了以前坚持的原则或信仰,因为我们认为它是错误的; 这个词因此意味着采取相反的信仰。[世纪词典]
