What does RENEGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To go back on a promise, agreement, or commitment that one had previously made.
People renege on contracts, pledges, and verbal promises alike, and the word usually carries a note of disappointment or blame toward whoever backs out. Renege also has an older, narrower sense in card games, where a player is said to renege by failing to follow suit even while holding a card of the required suit, which counts as a rule violation. The general sense broadened out of that gaming meaning, so today most speakers apply renege to any broken deal rather than to cards specifically. Because it implies a deliberate change of mind, renege sounds more critical than simply saying someone changed their plans.
How RENEGE is used
Common in everyday and business speech about broken deals; also a specific technical term in card games for failing to follow suit.
- The contractor tried to renege on the agreed price after the work was finished.
- Voters were furious when the candidate seemed to renege on a key campaign promise.
- If you renege on the deal now, we will have to find another buyer.
