What is another word for reneging?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪnˈɛd͡ʒɪŋ] (IPA) 
Reneging refers to the act of breaking a commitment, agreement or promise. Several synonyms can be used in place of reneging, such as retracting, revoking, renouncing, or repudiating. The word retracting entails taking back a statement or promise that had been previously made, while revoking connotes the act of annulling, cancelling or invalidating an agreement. On the other hand, renouncing suggests voluntarily surrendering a right or claim, and repudiating means rejecting or disowning something completely. All these synonyms share the same basic idea of failing to keep a promise or commitment, and therefore, can be used interchangeably depending on the context.
