Word origin
The word 'abjure' comes from the Latin word 'abjurare', which means 'to deny on oath'. It entered the English language in the 15th century. The act of abjuring was often done in a formal ceremony, where one would renounce their beliefs or allegiances. Over time, 'abjure' has come to be used more broadly to indicate a formal rejection or renouncement of something.
