/ɹɪˌnənsiˈeɪʃən/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  RENUNCIATION. The act of giving up a right. 
       2. It is a rule of law that any one may renounce a right which the law 
  has established in his favor. To this maxim there are many limitations. A 
  party may always renounce an acquired right; as, for example, to take lands 
  by descent; but one cannot always give up a future right, before it has 
  accrued, nor to the benefit conferred by law, although such advantage may be 
  introduced only for the benefit of individuals. 
       3. For example, the power of making a will; the right of annulling a 
  future contract, on the ground of fraud; and the right of pleading the act 
  of limitations, cannot be renounced. The first, because the party must be 
  left free to make a will or not; and the latter two, because the right has 
  not yet accrued. 
       4. This term is usually employed to signify the abdication or giving up 
  of one's country at the time of choosing another. The act of congress 
  requires from a foreigner who applies to become naturalized a renunciation 
  of all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or 
  sovereignty, whereof such alien may, at the time, be a citizen or subject. 
  See Citizen; Expatriation; Naturalization; To renounce.
