abdication
Abdication is the act of formally relinquishing monarchical authority.
==Terminology==
The word ''abdication'' derives from the Latin ''abdicatio'' meaning to disown or renounce (from ''ab'', away from, and ''dicare'', to dedicate or relinquish). In its broadest sense ''abdication'' is the act of renouncing and resigning from any formal office, but it is applied especially to the supreme office of state. In Roman law the term was also applied to the disowning of a family member, such as the disinheriting of a son. Today the term commonly applies to monarchs, or to those who have been formally crowned. An elected or appointed official is said to resign rather than to abdicate.
