disownment

/dɪˈsoʊnmənt/ noun

The act of disowning.

Word Origin Own comes from Old English 'āgnian', to possess or acknowledge as one's own. Disownment flips it with the dis- prefix: to refuse to acknowledge, to cast off ownership. The same root gives us owner and ownership, while disown adds the -ment to make it a noun — the act of disowning.
