renouncement

/ɹɪˈnaʊnsmənt/ noun

The act of renouncing.

Word Origin 'Renounce' comes from Latin 'renuntiare' — 're-' (back, against) + 'nuntiare' (to announce). So to renounce is to announce against, to declare rejection. 'Renouncement' adds '-ment' to form the noun of the action. The root 'nuntius' (messenger) gives us 'announce' (announce to), 'denounce' (announce down, condemn), 'pronounce' (announce forth), and 'nuncio' (papal messenger). So renouncement is the act of declaring something given up.
