To recant means to formally withdraw or repudiate a statement or belief, often publicly. In various legal or formal settings, a person may recant their earlier testimony or public statements, especially if new evidence surfaces or if they were under duress at the time of the original statement. The term suggests a formal retraction and often implies a change of mind or conviction.
