voidance

Act of emptying

Voidance is a formal or legal term for the act of making something void, empty, or of no effect.

In ecclesiastical contexts, it refers to a benefice or church position becoming vacant.

The word also has an archaic sense of the act of emptying or evacuating, particularly of bodily waste.

The voidance of the contract left both parties free to seek other arrangements.
