                                                    --Tiilotson.

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To abdicate; surrender; submit; leave; relinquish;
          forego; quit; forsake; abandon; renounce.
  
     Usage: Resign, Relinquish. To resign is to give up, as if
            breaking a seal and yielding all it had secured;
            hence, it marks a formal and deliberate surrender. To
            relinquish is less formal, but always implies
            abandonment and that the thing given up has been long
            an object of pursuit, and, usually, that it has been
            prized and desired. We resign what we once held or
            considered as our own, as an office, employment, etc.
            We speak of relinquishing a claim, of relinquishing
            some advantage we had sought or enjoyed, of
            relinquishing seme right, privilege, etc. ``Men are
            weary with the toil which they bear, but can not find
            it in their hearts to relinquish it.'' --Steele. See
            Abdicate.
