Abandoning in Malayalam

Giving something up is ഹാനം (haanam), a Sanskrit-derived noun covering abandoning, renunciation and loss. The word belongs to written and formal Malayalam rather than to kitchen conversation. In speech people usually build a verb phrase about leaving something instead of reaching for a noun.
