FORSAKE Meaning and Definition

  1. The verb "forsake" refers to the act of intentionally abandoning, deserting, or giving up on someone or something, often due to a sense of loyalty, duty, or commitment being lost or disregarded. It involves renouncing one's support, protection, or association with a person, cause, belief, or place.

    To forsake is to leave someone or a group in a difficult or helpless situation or to reject their company, often resulting in feelings of isolation, betrayal, or abandonment. It can also involve disregarding or neglecting one's responsibilities or duties towards someone or something. The act of forsaking usually carries a sense of finality, suggesting that relationships, agreements, or obligations are being permanently terminated or ignored.

    Forsake can also be used metaphorically to describe the abandonment or rejection of ideas, principles, or habits one previously upheld. It conveys the idea of deliberately turning away from or rejecting a cherished object, ideal, or belief.

    This verb can be traced back to the Old English word "forsacan," which combines "for-" (denoting an undoing or destruction) and "sacan" (meaning "to dispute" or "to contend"). Thus, the essential meaning of forsake emphasizes the deliberate act of severing ties, renouncing commitments, or breaking bonds with someone or something.

  2. To desert; to abandon; to depart from; to leave.
