ABROGATED Meaning and
Definition
-
Abrogated is a term used to describe the act of officially repealing or revoking a law, regulation, agreement, or contract, rendering it null and void. It refers to a deliberate and formal action taken by an authority to abolish or invalidate the legal force or effect of a specific ruling, provision, or document. When a law or agreement is abrogated, its previous legal standing is completely nullified.
The process of abrogation can occur for various reasons, such as changes in societal conditions, recognition of a law’s ineffectiveness, or the development of new legislation that supersedes and overrides previous provisions. Abrogation ensures that the abrogated law no longer has any legal authority or obligation on individuals or entities affected by it.
Typically, the abrogation of a law or agreement requires a formal action, such as a legislative repeal, a court ruling, or the mutual agreement of parties involved. It can occur at different levels of governance, such as federal, state, or local levels, depending on the jurisdiction and scope of the law being abrogated.
The term "abrogated" is commonly used in legal and governmental contexts to describe the process of eliminating or invalidating laws. It emphasizes the deliberate and intentional nature of the action, reflecting a conscious decision to annul the legal force of a particular provision.

Etymology of ABROGATED
The word abrogated originates from Latin. It comes from the Latin verb abrogare, which means to annul, repeal, or cancel. In Latin, ab denotes away and rogare means ask, propose, or request. Therefore, abrogare literally translates to to ask away or to propose away. This verb later evolved into abrogatus in Late Latin and abrogare in Old French, ultimately leading to the modern English term abrogated.
