Abdicate:

Sometimes someone in power might decide to give up that power and step down from his or her position. When they do that, they abdicate their authority, giving up all duties and perks of the job.

Ashru said:   1 decade ago
RELINQUISH means to give up.
Abdicate also means to give up.
Possess means to have.
Deny means refuse to accept.

So the antonym of RELINQUISH is possess.
