Abrogation、derogation和antiquation三个单词均有取消或废除的含义。

Abrogation，“Annulment or repeal of a law”，表示正式经受权行为取消或废除下级机关颁布的某部法律、命令、规则等，常等同cancellation或annulment。

Derogation，“The partial repeal or abrogation of a law by a later act that limits its scope or impairs its utility and force”， 则表示废除一部法律的某一部分，故其应为“部分废除”。也表示“an occasion when a rule or law is allowed to be ignored”，（对法规等的）背离。

Antiquation，“To make obsolete by replacing with something newer or better”，多指用新法置换过时旧法的方式废除或取消某部法规。
