invalidate
含义: To render something no longer valid, legally binding, or logically sound; to undermine or disprove an argument, result, or claim.
Invalidate has broad application across legal, scientific, and everyday contexts. In law, it means to strip a document or decision of its legal standing. In research, it means to demonstrate that findings or methods are flawed. In everyday use, it can mean to dismiss or undermine someone's feelings or experience, a sense that has gained particular currency in psychological discourse.
