短释义：
Not quite lying, reneging is more a sin of omission — failing to do what you said you would. The Latin negāre means “to deny,” so by reneging on your word, you are denying someone whatever you promised them. In card games, you are said to renege if you play against the rules. To renege may be wrong, but it’s not necessarily a punishable offense (unless you put that promise legally binding in writing). Still, it certainly doesn’t make you look good!
食言就是食言或者不遵守诺言。

不完全是撒谎，食言更是一种疏忽之罪——没有按照你说的去做。拉丁语 negāre 的意思是“否认”，因此食言就是否认你向某人许诺的一切。在纸牌游戏中，如果你违反规则，就被称为食言。食言可能是错误的，但这不一定是应受惩罚的罪行（除非您以书面形式将该承诺具有法律约束力）。不过，它肯定不会让你看起来很好！

但我内心的另一部分无法原谅他们食言。

词源：
renege (v.)1540s, renegue, “deny, renounce, abandon” (archaic), from Medieval Latin renegare, from Latin re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see re-), + negare “to refuse” (from PIE root *ne- “not”).
The meaning “change one’s mind, go back on (one’s word or promise)” is by 1784. OED identifies this as “orig. and chiefly U.S.,” and adds that it is “Now the dominant sense,” in the spelling renege. Three of its first four examples of it in this sense spell it renig, renigged. Related: Reneged; reneging.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
renege (v.)1540s，renegue，“否认，放弃，放弃”（古语），源自中世纪拉丁语 renegare，源自拉丁语 re-，这里可能是一个密集前缀（参见 re-），+ negare “拒绝”（来自 PIE根*ne-“不”）。意思是“改变主意，背弃（某人的诺言或诺言）”，其含义是 1784 年。《牛津英语词典》将其标识为“起源于美国，主要是美国”，并补充说，在拼写违背中，它是“现在的主导含义”。在这个意义上，它的前四个例子中的三个拼写为“renig”，“renigged”。相关：背信弃义；食言。相关条目及更多
