rescinded
Officially took back
Rescinded is the past tense of rescind, meaning to revoke or cancel something officially.
Laws, contracts, offers, and orders get rescinded when authorities withdraw them: The university rescinded his admission after discovering plagiarism.
The word implies formal action—you don't rescind casual plans, you cancel them.
