OP I was reading this article today and this sentence jumps out at me:Quote:There are a number of factors in such renegacy.
something to do with reneging, an act of renegation(?), right?
so I tried to LIU. it doesn't seem to be defined anywhere! not in W3, not in OED -- but it's much in evidence, and seems to have been often used by Marxists and the like, applied to former leftists who have reneged their views. (googling turns up lots of Lenin papers!)
so, what the hey?!
