+ ==Pronunciation==

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''abrogō''' (present infinitive abrogāre, perfect active abrogāvī, supine abrogātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|ab-|rogō|t2=to ask; to propose a law]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) De Vaan takes [[m|la|rogō]] as a verb formed from a noun or adjective [[itc-pro|*rogo-|t=request; stretching out]], from [[ine-pro|*h₃roǵ-o-|t=stretching]], perhaps of the arms stretched out in begging.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is a term of public law: to repeal a law entirely.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) Varro asks whether old laws are not often repealed and give way to new ones.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short contrast it with [[derogo|alt=dērogō]], to repeal a law in part, and [[obrogo|alt=obrogō]], to pass a law that counters another.^(Lewis & Short 1879) By extension it is to disregard or repudiate, as the wise reject many decrees of the people in Seneca.^(OLD 2012) It is also to cancel an office or honour, as a command in the orator Annius, and to take something away from someone: in Livy a law that takes away credit destroys all human society.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it to revoke, abrogate, annul.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|abrogate]] comes from its past participle, from the 1520s.^(Etymonline)
