overrides
Cancels by authority
Overrides are instances of setting aside or superseding something.
A presidential override cancels a congressional veto.
In computing, an override replaces default behavior with custom instructions: The CSS overrides changed the font throughout the site.
Safety overrides allow manual control when automatic systems fail.
The word captures any act of asserting authority over an existing rule or setting.
