REVOKING Meaning and
Definition
-
Revoking is a verb that refers to the act of officially cancelling, withdrawing, or invalidating a previously issued document, decision, right, or privilege. When something is revoked, it is effectively rendered null and void, and its previous impact or validity ceases to exist.
To elaborate, revoking commonly applies to the annulment of legal or formal arrangements, contracts, licenses, permits, or entitlements that were previously granted to an individual or an entity. Such revocations can be initiated by a competent authority, such as a government agency, court, or regulatory body, for various reasons. These reasons may range from violation of terms or conditions, non-compliance with regulations, breach of trust, inconsistency with applicable laws, or a change in circumstances affecting the necessity of the granted right or privilege.
Revoking can also be used in a wider context, beyond legal matters, to describe the withdrawal or cancellation of more informal agreements, permissions, authorizations, or memberships. For instance, organizations or clubs may revoke memberships due to misconduct or non-payment of dues.
The action of revoking implies the act of making something legally or formally unenforceable or void, effectively rendering it as if it had never been granted or established in the first place. Revoking ensures the cessation of rights, benefits, or privileges that had previously been acquired or bestowed.
Common Misspellings for REVOKING
Etymology of REVOKING
The word "revoking" is derived from the Latin verb "revocare", which is a combination of the prefix "re-" (meaning "again") and the verb "vocare" (meaning "to call"). "Revocare" essentially means "to call back" or "to recall". Over time, this Latin term evolved into Old French as "revocuer" and Middle English as "revoken". Eventually, it became the modern English word "revoking", which refers to the act of officially or legally cancelling or invalidating something, such as a contract or a decision.
