To rescind a law, a rule, a contract, or a decision is to officially take it back so that it no longer holds. A government can rescind a ban; a company can rescind a job offer; a school can rescind a punishment. It is a formal, legal-sounding verb. In ordinary talk people say cancel, take back, or drop. Rescind is the stamp-and-paper version: someone with authority undoes something that was itself official. Though actually, it does not mean "change a little". It means this thing is no longer in force. If they only one line, they amend it; if they kill the whole rule, they rescind it.
撤銷;廢止(正式、法律)
組成From Latin rescindō, "to cut back", from re- ("back") + scindō ("to cut"). The picture is cutting the decision away.
