quash
의미: To reject or void a legal decision, conviction, or indictment as invalid, especially by a higher court. Also to suppress or put an end to something forcefully.
In legal contexts, quash refers to the formal setting aside of a court order, conviction, or legal process on appeal or judicial review. The Court of Appeal may quash a conviction if it is deemed unsafe. Beyond law, the word is used in journalism and political writing to describe the forceful suppression of rebellion, rumours, or opposition. Despite its two distinct senses — legal annulment and forcible suppression — the underlying meaning of nullification connects both uses. It collocates with 'conviction,' 'ruling,' 'indictment,' 'rebellion,' and 'rumours.'
