"The first instance of oath-taking is common in our everyday lives. Most weddings feature a couple forswearing all others, pledging fidelity to each other as long as they live.

Did You Know?
Forswear (which is also sometimes spelled foreswear) is the modern English equivalent of Old English forswerian. It can suggest denial ("[Thou] would'st forswear thy own hand and seal" — John Arbuthnot, John Bull) or perjury ("Is it the interest of any man … to lie, forswear himself, indulge hatred, seek desperate revenge, or do murder?" — Charles Dickens, American Notes). But in current use, it most often has to do with giving something up, as in "The feuding parties agreed to forswear violence" and "She refused to forswear her principles."
Forswear（有时也拼写为 forswear）是现代英语，与中古英语 forswerian 同等的。 它可以表 denial（[Thou] would'st forswear thy own hand and seal"」[你]不会放弃你自己的手和印章”」）或 perjury（"Is it the interest of any man … to lie, forswear himself, indulge hatred, seek desperate revenge, or do murder?" 「“任何人的利益......撒谎，放弃自己，放纵仇恨，寻求绝望的报复吗？ ，还是谋杀？”」）。 但在目前的使用中，它通常与放弃某物有关，例如“The feuding parties agreed to forswear violence「争斗的各方同意放弃*力暴**」”和“She refused to forswear her principles「她拒绝放弃她的原则」”。
