  1. (transitive) to abandon, to give up, to relinquish
    • 1979, Manuel de Pedrolo, Baixeu a recules i amb les mans alçades:
      Certament, és equívoc tot allò que abandona un estat per entrar en un altre de més complex; tot allò que relinqueix una condició segura per instal·lar-se en la inseguretat.
