Annulled Meaning in English
word · lemma: annul
Definition
If something is annulled, it is officially declared invalid or canceled, especially a decision, contract, or marriage.
Usage & Nuances
Commonly used in legal and official contexts about things made legally void, such as marriages, contracts, or elections. More formal than simply saying 'canceled'. Usually paired with nouns like 'marriage', 'contract', or 'decision'. Not the same as 'nullified', which suggests making ineffective rather than officially making invalid.
