Abrogable is an adjective that refers to something that can be revoked, repealed, or annulled. The term is derived from the word "abrogate," which means to officially abolish or nullify a law, rule, treaty, or agreement. Abrogable describes the quality or characteristic of being subject to cancellation or termination.
In legal contexts, abrogable denotes laws, regulations, or legal provisions that are not permanent and can be invalidated or abolished by the appropriate authority. Such laws may be viewed as equivalent to temporary or conditional measures that can be rescinded or altered in the future. The designation of a law or provision as abrogable acknowledges the possibility or potential for it to be modified or eradicated due to changing circumstances or evolving policies.
The term can also be used in broader contexts, beyond legal matters, to describe anything that can be invalidated or withdrawn. This could include contracts, agreements, promises, privileges, rights, or permissions. The abrogability of these entities implies that they are not absolute or final, but rather, are contingent on certain conditions or events.
Overall, abrogable denotes the flexibility or vulnerability of a law, rule, treaty, agreement, or other entities to be cancelled, repealed, or annulled, reflecting the recognition that circumstances may arise that necessitate their modification or elimination.
The word "abrogable" is derived from the verb "abrogate", which comes from the Latin word "abrogare". In Latin, "abrogare" is a combination of "ab" (meaning "away", "off" or "from") and "rogare" (meaning "to ask" or "to propose a law"). Therefore, "abrogare" originally meant to repeal or annul a law through a formal process of asking or proposing. Over time, the meaning of "abrogate" has evolved to generally refer to the act of repealing or invalidating something, such as a law, rule, or agreement. From "abrogate", the adjective "abrogable" is formed to describe something capable or eligible for abrogation.
