REVOKE Meaning and Definition

1. Revoke is a verb that refers to the act of officially cancelling, rescinding, or invalidating something that was previously granted, permitted, or put into effect. When one revokes something, they take back or withdraw a previously given right, privilege, license, or authorization.

   In legal contexts, revoke pertains to the annulment or voiding of a contract, agreement, or document. It signifies the termination of a legal instrument or the cancellation of its validity. Revoking a license or certification, for example, would mean withdrawing the legal authority or permission granted to someone to carry out a certain activity, such as driving or practicing a profession.

   Furthermore, revoke can also be employed in non-legal contexts. For instance, it can depict the act of discontinuing or nixing a previously stated statement, decision, or promise. In such instances, the individual or entity may retract their initial position, declaration, or commitment.

   The act of revoking may involve the use of explicit language or the fulfillment of specific legal requirements, depending on the circumstance and context. It often signifies a deliberate and official action taken to reverse a previous decision or to render an agreement null and void. Revoking can be initiated by individuals, organizations, government bodies, or authorities, and it typically involves communicating the termination or cancellation to the affected party or parties.

2. • To repeal; to annul; to reverse, as a law; to declare void; to renounce at cards.

   • The act of renouncing at cards.

Etymology of REVOKE

The word "revoke" originated from the Latin word "revocare", which is a combination of the prefix "re-" (meaning back or again) and the verb "vocare" (meaning to call). In Latin, "revocare" was used to express the act of calling back, recalling, or retracting something. Over time, "revocare" evolved into the Old French word "revoquer", which then gave rise to the Middle English word "revoke". The modern English term "revoke" still retains the original meaning of recalling or retracting something, usually in the context of an official order, decision, or permission.
