Antiquate


AN'TIQUATE, verb transitive [Latin antiquo. See Antiquary.]

To make old, or obsolete; to make old in such a degree as to put out of use. Hence, when applied to laws or customs, it amounts to make void or abrogate.

Christianity might reasonably introduce new laws and antiquate or abrogate old ones.
