Als Deutscher ist mir das zu high-level ...
abschwören ist theatralisch/religiös
entsagen ist eher weltlich
lossagen ist weltlich/theatralisch.
gemeint ist immer das gleiche:
Die Entscheidung, eine Sache nicht mehr zu tun.
theatralisch: übertrieben dramatische Wortwahl, welche man im Theater findet.
