Origin:
The word "abjure" originated from the Latin phrase abjurare ("to swear away"), which was used in Roman legal proceedings to indicate the formal renunciation of a belief or accusation.
Over time, the term "abjure" came to be applied more broadly to the act of publicly renouncing any strongly held belief or position, regardless of whether it had been previously sworn or not.
In religious contexts, "abjure" is often used to describe the formal renunciation of a religious faith or doctrine, typically under pressure or threat.
