The word "renounced" is derived from the Old French verb "renoncier", which in turn comes from the Latin verb "renuntiare". The Latin term is composed of two parts: "re", meaning "again" or "back", and "nuntiare", meaning "to announce" or "to report". Hence, "renuntiare" means "to announce again" or "to declare publicly". Over time, the meaning of "renoncier" in Old French evolved to convey the sense of "declaring openly or formally" or "relinquishing a claim or position". Eventually, this led to the development of the modern English word "renounced", which refers to the act of formally and publicly giving up or disowning something.
