Definition
割舍 means to give up or let go of something you are emotionally attached to, often with reluctance. The character 割 (cut) suggests a painful severing of a bond, making this word stronger than the more neutral 放弃 (fàngqì). You can use it for abstract things like attachments, habits, or relationships.
