déclarer forfait : Cour. Déclarer qu'on ne prendra pas part à une épreuve. Fig. Ne pas participer à la compétition, abandonner, se retirer (cf. jeter l'éponge). Selon cette définition du Petit Robert, «déclarer forfait » semble plus spécifique que les autres termes, donc il pourrait s'agir d'un pseudo-synonyme, plutôt qu'un réel synonyme, quoiqu'il soit attesté par plusieurs sources. Quand on «déclare forfait », on abandonne avant la compétition, tandis qu'avec les autres termes, l'abandon se produit pendant la compétition. 5, record 2, French, - jeter%20l%27%C3%A9ponge
