 <p><syn><b>Syn.</b> -- To give up; yield; forego; cede; surrender; resign; abdicate; quit; relinquish; renounce; desert; forsake; leave; retire; withdraw from.</syn> -- <usage><er>To Abandon</er>, <er>Desert</er>, <er>Forsake</er>. These words agree in representing a person as <xex>giving up</xex> or <xex>leaving</xex> some object, but differ as to the mode of doing it. The distinctive sense of abandon is that of giving up a thing absolutely and finally; as, to abandon one's friends, places, opinions, good or evil habits, a hopeless enterprise, a shipwrecked vessel. <xex>Abandon</xex> is more widely applicable than <xex>forsake</xex> or <xex>desert</xex>. The Latin original of <xex>desert</xex> appears to have been originally applied to the case of deserters from military service. Hence, the verb, when used of <ex>persons</ex> in the active voice, has usually or always a bad sense, implying some breach of fidelity, honor, etc., the leaving of something which the person should rightfully stand by and support; as, to <ex>desert</ex> one's colors, to <ex>desert</ex> one's post, to <ex>desert</ex> one's principles or duty. When used in the passive, the sense is not necessarily bad; as, the fields were <ex>deserted</ex>, a <ex>deserted</ex> village, <ex>deserted</ex> halls. <ex>Forsake</ex> implies the breaking off of previous habit, association, personal connection, or that the thing left had been familiar or frequented; as, to forsake old friends, to <ex>forsake</ex> the paths of rectitude, the blood <ex>forsook</ex> his cheeks. It may be used either in a good or in a bad sense.</usage><br/
